Spring is in full swing and summer is right around the corner, what are your plans? At AoPS Online our schedule has new classes starting now through July, so be sure to keep your skills sharp and be prepared for the Fall school year! Check out the schedule of upcoming classes below.

WOOT early bird pricing is in effect, don’t miss out! If you took MathWOOT Level 2 last year, no worries, it is all new problems this year! Our Worldwide Online Olympiad Training program is for high school level competitors. AoPS designed these courses to help our top students get the deep focus they need to succeed in their specific competition goals. Check out the details at this link for all our WOOT programs in math, computer science, chemistry, and physics.

Looking for summer camps in math and language arts? Be sure to check out the video-based summer camps offered at the Virtual Campus that are 2- to 4-weeks in duration. There are middle and high school competition math camps as well as Math Beasts camps that review key topics coupled with fun explorations covering areas such as graph theory (Math Beasts Camp 6), cryptography (Math Beasts Camp 7-8), and topology (Math Beasts Camp 8-9)!

Be sure to mark your calendars for the following events:
[list][*]April 3rd (Webinar), 4pm PT/7:00pm ET, Learning with AoPS: Perspectives from a Parent, Math Camp Instructor, and University Professor

Let $P$ and $Q$ be on segment $BC$ of an acute triangle $ABC$ such that $\angle PAB=\angle BCA$ and $\angle CAQ=\angle ABC$. Let $M$ and $N$ be the points on $AP$ and $AQ$, respectively, such that $P$ is the midpoint of $AM$ and $Q$ is the midpoint of $AN$. Prove that the intersection of $BM$ and $CN$ is on the circumference of triangle $ABC$.

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with circumcentre $O$. The points $D,E,F$ lie in the interiors of the sides $BC,CA,AB$ respectively, such that $DE$ is perpendicular to $CO$ and $DF$ is perpendicular to $BO$. (By interior we mean, for example, that the point $D$ lies on the line $BC$ and $D$ is between $B$ and $C$ on that line.)
Let $K$ be the circumcentre of triangle $AFE$. Prove that the lines $DK$ and $BC$ are perpendicular.

Reason: added the word ''cyclic'' due to bad translation, see post #10

Well; for 1 Notice that $\angle EFG = 180 - \angle EFB - \angle GFC$. But quadrilaterals $EOFB$ and $OFCG$ are cyclic (by the perpendiculars) so $\angle EFB = 90 - \angle OBE$ and $\angle GFC = 90 - \angle OCG$ and thus $\angle EFG = \angle OBE + \angle GFC$. Doing the same for angle $\angle GHE$ will get that the required sum is $\angle OBE + \angle OCG + \angle ODC + \angle OAE = 180$

Edit: Looked this up on google; see theorem 3 http://forumgeom.fau.edu/FG2012volume12/FG201202.pdf

Indeed. The problem amounts to showing that $ABCD$ is cyclic, which is not always true for orthodiagonal quadrilaterals.

the original formulation was
Quote:
Diberikan segiempat talibusur $ABCD$ dengan kedua diagonalnya saling tegak lurus dan berpotongan di titik $O$. Garis tegak lurus dari $O$ pada $AB$; memotong $AB$ di $E$. Garis tegak lurus dari $O$ pada $BC$, memotong $BC$ di $F$. Garis tegak lurus dari $O$ pada $CD$, memotong $CD$ di $G$: Garis tegak lurus $O$ pada $DA$, memotong $DA$ di $H$.
a. Buktikan bahwa $\angle EFG + \angle  GHE = 180^o$
b. Buktikan bahwa $OE$ merupakan garis bagi sudut $FEH$.
I used google translate and changed the wording in the start, in order to make it more simple

PS. official solution is available

On what basis are they assuming that $\angle BCD =\angle CAD$ which basically means the quadrilateral is cyclic? Someone who understands Bahasa/Malay can help please?

Hello, this should help:

"Diberikan segiempat talibusur $ABCD$..." is translated to : "Given cyclic quadrilateral $ABCD$...$

As it seems I missed the cyclic condition at the start, and the second question was not valid, sorry

First, note that $OEBF, OEAH, OHDG$ and $OFGC$ are cyclic. Hence, \begin{align*} \angle EHG+\angle EFG\\&=\angle EHO+\angle GHO+\angle EFO+\angle GFO\\&=\angle EAO+\angle GDO+\angle EBO+\angle GCO\\&=\angle EAC+\angle GDB+\angle EBD+\angle GCA\\&=2(\angle CAB+\angle ABD)\\&=2(180^{\circ}-90^{\circ})\\&=180^{\circ},\end{align*}proving part a. For part b, note that $$ \angle HEO=\angle HAO=\angle DAC=\angle DBC=\angle OBF=\angle OEF,$$proving that $OE$ bisects $\angle FEH.$ $\blacksquare$
