(IMO 2004.5). In a convex quadrilateral $ABCD$, the diagonal $BD$ bisects neither the angle $ABC$ nor the angle $CDA$. The point $P$ lies inside $ABCD$ and satisfies
\[\angle{PBC}=\angle{DBA}\quad\text{and}\quad\angle{PDC}=\angle{BDA}.\]Prove that $ABCD$ is a cyclic quadrilateral if and only if $AP=CP$.

Solution

In other news, apparently I have to go to California for a week where I will be forced to do "fun" stuff. Yay. After coming back there will only be one more week until school. I have not completed my AP Euro summer homework yet. FML. I do not know how I will manage to survive high school.

hmm so on this problem i was like, oh this problem is like isogonal conjugagtes only not really, but it looks like isogonal conjugates so we should los bash..2 hrs later...los bash does not look very promising, what else can i do? maybe extend BP and DP to the circumcircle. no, im not sure that works, and that makes this diagram ugly, so lets think of something better...and then i gave up

  • Good job on 5 problems on USAMO. I know that is a pretty bad score for someone as awesome as you on a normal USAMO, but no one got all 6 this year so it's GREAT!

    VICTOR WANG 42 ON IMO 2013 LET'S GO.

    See you at MOP this year (probably :) ).
