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.
(Jack D’Aurizio)
