I think all 6 are great problems. I am also so cynical that I am worried there's a good reason I don't know of that makes these not great problems. Anybody want to chime in?

sketches that I really hope aren't fakesolves, written before seeing any spoilers:

4: draw circle BCMN to see that the radical axis of the two problem-given circles go through A, chase angles and powers of points and you have all three wanted points perpendicular to that radical axis at the intersection other than W.

5: $f(1)f(a) \geq f(a)$ so $f(1) \geq 1$

induct $f(1 + n) \geq f(1) + f(n)$; therefore $f(n) \geq n$, $n$ integer

then $f(q)f(p/q) \geq f(p)$ so $f(p/q) > 0$

then $f$ is strictly increasing.

If $f(x) > x$ then take huge integer $h$, compare $f(hx) \geq hf(x)$ (from inducting to $h$) with $f(a^n) \leq a^n$ (also inducting to $n$) for contradiction

Therefore $f(x) \leq x$ so $f(n) = n$ so by $f(p/q) \geq f(p)/f(q)$ we're done

6: gg tooooo haaaaaard

(I noticed that an arithmetic progression $\bmod (n-1)$ works but then I also noticed $0, (n-1), (n-2), \ldots, 1, n$ works and I totally gave up listing labelings for 5)
