Given are two circles which intersect at points $P$ and $Q$. Consider an arbitrary line $\ell$ through $Q$, let the second points of intersection of this line with the circles be $A$ and $B$ respectively. Let $C$ be the point of intersection of the tangents to the circles in those points. Let $D$ be the intersection of the line $AB$ and the bisector of the angle $CPQ$. Prove that all possible $D$ for any choice of $\ell$ lie on a single circle.

On plane there is fixed ray $s$ with vertex $A$ and a point $P$ not on the line which contains $s$. We choose a random point $K$ which lies on ray. Let $N$ be a point on a ray outside $AK$ such that $NK=1$. Let $M$ be a point such that $NM=1,M \in PK$ and $M!=K.$ Prove that all lines $NM$, provided by some point $K$, touch some fixed circle.

At heights $AA_0, BB_0, CC_0$ of an acute-angled non-equilateral triangle $ABC$, points $A_1, B_1, C_1$ were marked, respectively, so that $AA_1 = BB_1 = CC_1 = R$, where $R$ is the radius of the circumscribed circle of triangle $ABC$. Prove that the center of the circumscribed circle of the triangle $A_1B_1C_1$ coincides with the center of the inscribed circle of triangle $ABC$.
