Let
be fixed points on this order on a line. Let
be a variable circle through
and
and suppose it meets the perpendicular bisector of
at the points
and
. Let
and
be the other points of intersection of
and
with
. Prove that
passes through a fixed point independent of
.














Projections on collections of lines
by Assassino9931, Apr 27, 2025, 10:17 PM
Let
be the set of all lines in the plane and
be a set of
points in the plane. For a line
let
be the number of distinct points among the orthogonal projections of the points from
on
. Find the maximum possible number of distinct values of
(this quantity is computed for any line
) as
varies.

Interesting polygon game
by Assassino9931, Apr 27, 2025, 10:14 PM
Let
be an integer. Alice and Bob play the following game on the vertices of a regular
-gon. Alice places her token on a vertex of the n-gon. Afterwards Bob places his token on another vertex of the n-gon. Then, with Alice playing first, they move their tokens alternately as follows for
rounds: In Alice’s turn on the
-th round, she moves her token
positions clockwise or anticlockwise. In Bob’s turn on the
-th round, he moves his token
position clockwise or anticlockwise. If at the end of any person’s turn the two tokens are on the same vertex, then Alice wins the game, otherwise Bob wins. Decide for each value of
which player has a winning strategy.
