Let $ ABCD$ be a cyclic quadrilateral with $ AB>CD$ and $ BC>AD$. Take points $ X$ and $ Y$ on the sides $ AB$ and $ BC$, respectively, so that $ AX=CD$ and $ AD=CY$. Let $ M$ be the midpoint of $ XY$. Prove that $ AMC$ is a right angle.

Let $ C_1,C_2$ and $ C_3$ be three pairwise disjoint circles. For each pair of disjoint circles, we define their internal tangent lines as the two common tangents which intersect in a point between the two centres. For each $ i,j$, we define $ (r_{ij},s_{ij})$ as the two internal tangent lines of $ (C_i,C_j)$. Let $ r_{12},r_{23},r_{13},s_{12},s_{13},s_{23}$ be the sides of $ ABCA'B'C'$.
Prove that $ AA',BB'$ and $ CC'$ are concurrent.

Let a cyclic quadrilateral $ ABCD$, $ AC \cap BD = E$ and let a circle $ \Gamma$ internally tangent to the arch $ BC$ (that not contain $ D$) in $ T$ and tangent to $ BE$ and $ CE$. Call $ R$ the point where the angle bisector of $ \angle ABC$ meet the angle bisector of $ \angle BCD$ and $ S$ the incenter of $ BCE$. Prove that $ R$, $ S$ and $ T$ are collinear.

Let a convex quadrilateral $ ABCD$ fixed such that $ AB = BC$, $ \angle ABC = 80, \angle CDA = 50$. Define $ E$ the midpoint of $ AC$; show that $ \angle CDE = \angle BDA$
(Paolo Leonetti)


Consider a cyclic quadrilateral $ABCD$ and define points $X = AB \cap CD$, $Y = AD \cap BC$, and suppose that there exists a circle with center $Z$ inscribed in $ABCD$. Show that the $Z$ belongs to the circle with diameter $XY$ , which is orthogonal to circumcircle of $ABCD$.


Given an acute angled triangle $ABC$ with $M$ being the mid-point of $AB$ and $P$ and $Q$ are the feet of heights from $A$ to $BC$ and $B$ to $AC$ respectively. Show that if the line $AC$ is tangent to the circumcircle of $BMP$ then the line $BC$ is tangent to the circumcircle of $AMQ$.

Let $P$ be a polyhedron whose faces are colored black and white so that there are more black faces and no two black faces are adjacent. Show that $P$ is not circumscribed about a sphere.


Find all quadrilaterals which can be covered (without overlappings) with squares with side $ 1$ and equilateral triangles with side $ 1$.
(Emanuele Tron)

Given a triangle $ABC$, let $ P$ be the point which minimizes the sum of squares of distances from the sides of the triangle. Let $D, E, F$ the projections of $ P$ on the sides of the triangle ABC. Show that $P$ is the barycenter of $DEF$.
