|f(x)+g(y)| = | f(y) + g(x)|.

interesting geometry config (3/3)

Let $\triangle ABC$ be an acute triangle, $H$ its orthocenter and $E$ the center of its nine point circle. Let $P$ be a point on the parallel through $C$ to $AB$ such that $\angle CPH = |\angle BAC-\angle ABC|$ and $P$ and $A$ are on different sides of $BC$ and $Q$ a point on the parallel through $B$ to $AC$ such that $\angle BQH = |\angle BAC - \angle ACB|$ and $C$ and $Q$ are on different sides of $AB$. If $B'$ and $C'$ are the reflections of $H$ over $AC$ and $AB$ respectively, $S$ and $T$ are the intersections of $B'Q$ and $C'P$ respectively with the circumcircle of $\triangle ABC$, prove that the intersection of lines $CT$ and $BS$ lies on $HE$.

final problem for this "points on parallels forming strange angles with the orthocenter" config, for now. personally i think its pretty cool :D

Let $\triangle ABC$ be an acute triangle and $H$ its orthocenter. Let $P$ be a point on the parallel through $A$ to $BC$ such that $\angle APH = |\angle ABC-\angle ACB|$. Define $Q$ and $R$ as points on the parallels through $B$ to $AC$ and through $C$ to $AB$ similarly. If $P,Q,R$ are positioned around the sides of $\triangle ABC$ as in the given configuration, prove that $P,Q,R$ are collinear.

There are $100$ points on the plane, all pairwise distances between which are different. Is there always a polyline with vertices at these points, passing through each point once, in which the link lengths increase monotonously?
