Let $\triangle{ABC}$ be a triangle, and let $P$ be an arbitrary point on line $AO$, where $O$ is the circumcenter of $\triangle{ABC}$. Define $H_1$ and $H_2$ as the orthocenters of triangles $\triangle{APB}$ and $\triangle{APC}$. Prove that $H_1H_2$ passes through a fixed point which is independent of the choice of $P$.

Suppose that $ B_1$ is the midpoint of the arc $ AC$, containing $ B$, in the circumcircle of $ \triangle ABC$, and let $ I_b$ be the $ B$-excircle's center. Assume that the external angle bisector of $ \angle ABC$ intersects $ AC$ at $ B_2$. Prove that $ B_2I$ is perpendicular to $ B_1I_B$, where $ I$ is the incenter of $ \triangle ABC$.

Let $\triangle ABC$ be a triangle inscribed in a circle, where the tangents to the circle at points $B$ and $C$ intersect at the point $P$. Let $M$ be a point on the arc $AC$ (not containing $B$) such that $M \neq A$ and $M \neq C$. Let the lines $BC$ and $AM$ intersect at point $K$. Let $P'$ be the reflection of $P$ with respect to the line $AM$. The lines $AP'$ and $PM$ intersect at point $Q$, and $PM$ intersects the circumcircle of $\triangle ABC$ again at point $N$.

Prove that the point $Q$ lies on the circumcircle of $\triangle ANK$.

A point $A_0$ and two lines $d_1$ and $d_2$ are given in the space. For each nonnegative integer $n$ we denote by $B_n$ the projection of $A_n$ on $d_2,$ and by $A_{n+1}$ the projection of $B_n$ on $d_1.$ Prove that there exist two segments $[A'A''] \subset d_1$ and $[B'B''] \subset d_2$ of length $0.001$ and a nonnegative integer $N$ such that $A_n \in [A'A'']$ and $B_n \in [B'B'']$ for any $n \ge N.$

Let the excircle of triangle $ABC$ opposite the vertex $A$ be tangent to the side $BC$ at the point $A_1$. Define the points $B_1$ on $CA$ and $C_1$ on $AB$ analogously, using the excircles opposite $B$ and $C$, respectively. Suppose that the circumcentre of triangle $A_1B_1C_1$ lies on the circumcircle of triangle $ABC$. Prove that triangle $ABC$ is right-angled.

We say that a triangle $ABC$ is great if the following holds: for any point $D$ on the side $BC$, if $P$ and $Q$ are the feet of the perpendiculars from $D$ to the lines $AB$ and $AC$, respectively, then the reflection of $D$ in the line $PQ$ lies on the circumcircle of the triangle $ABC$. Prove that triangle $ABC$ is great if and only if $\angle A = 90^{\circ}$ and $AB = AC$.

1: we have x/y=z^2, so x/z=yz, so sqrt(x)/sqrt(z)=sqrt(yz), and thus the answer is sqrt(yz)/yz.

2: we have that xyz+y=(y-1)y(y+1)+y=y(y^2-1)+y=y^3, as desired.
