Spring is in full swing and summer is right around the corner, what are your plans? At AoPS Online our schedule has new classes starting now through July, so be sure to keep your skills sharp and be prepared for the Fall school year! Check out the schedule of upcoming classes below.

WOOT early bird pricing is in effect, don’t miss out! If you took MathWOOT Level 2 last year, no worries, it is all new problems this year! Our Worldwide Online Olympiad Training program is for high school level competitors. AoPS designed these courses to help our top students get the deep focus they need to succeed in their specific competition goals. Check out the details at this link for all our WOOT programs in math, computer science, chemistry, and physics.

Looking for summer camps in math and language arts? Be sure to check out the video-based summer camps offered at the Virtual Campus that are 2- to 4-weeks in duration. There are middle and high school competition math camps as well as Math Beasts camps that review key topics coupled with fun explorations covering areas such as graph theory (Math Beasts Camp 6), cryptography (Math Beasts Camp 7-8), and topology (Math Beasts Camp 8-9)!

Be sure to mark your calendars for the following events:
[list][*]April 3rd (Webinar), 4pm PT/7:00pm ET, Learning with AoPS: Perspectives from a Parent, Math Camp Instructor, and University Professor

Let $ABC$ be a scalene acute triangle with incentre $I{}$ and circumcentre $O{}$. Let $AI$ cross $BC$ at $D$. On circle $ABC$, let $X$ and $Y$ be the mid-arc points of $ABC$ and $BCA$, respectively. Let $DX{}$ cross $CI{}$ at $E$ and let $DY{}$ cross $BI{}$ at $F{}$. Prove that the lines $FX, EY$ and $IO$ are concurrent on the external bisector of $\angle BAC$.

Let (P, P^*), (Q, Q^*) be two pairs of isogonal conjugates wrt \triangle ABC, and \triangle P_AP_BP_C, \triangle P^*_AP^*_BP^*_C, \triangle Q_AQ_BQ_C, \triangle Q^*_AQ^*_BQ^*_C be circlecevian triangles of P,P^*,Q,Q^*.

The three lines A(P_AQ_A\cap P^*_AQ^*_A), B(P_BQ_B\cap P^*_BQ^*_B), C(P_CQ_C\cap P^*_CQ^*_C) are concurrent.

The Newton lines of quadrangles P_AQ_AP^*_AQ^*_A, P_BQ_BP^*_BQ^*_B, P_CQ_CP^*_CQ^*_C are sides of the Ceva triangle of the trilinear polar of the Newton line of the quadrangle PQP^*Q^*.

The Newton line of the quadrangle PQP^*Q^* and the line passing through the Vu circlecevian point of (P, Q) and PQ^*\cap P^*Q are parallel .

Let $\triangle ABC$ be a triangle with $A$-mixtilinear incircle $\omega$, and let the tangents from $B$ and $C$ to $\omega$ different from $AB$ and $AC$ meet the circumcircle again at $P$ and $Q$, and let $AP$ and $AQ$ meet $BC$ again at $X$ and $Y$. Show that the $A$-excircle of $\triangle AXY$ is tangent to the circumcircle.

In a convex qualrilateral $ABCD$, let $P$ be the intersection point of $AD$ and $BC$. Suppose that $I_1$ and $I_2$ are the incenters of triangles $PAB$ and $PDC$,respectively. Let $O$ be the circumcenter of $PAB$, and $H$ the orthocenter of $PDC$. Show that the circumcircles of triangles $AI_1B$ and $DHC$ are tangent together if and only if the circumcircles of triangles $AOB$ and $DI_2C$ are tangent together.

Let $X$ be one of intersection of circumcircles of triangles $AOB$ and $CI_2D$. Let $\odot(\triangle BXC)\cap \odot(\triangle AXD)=\{X,Y\}$:

$\left.\begin{array}{ccc}
\angle AYB=\angle XDP+\angle XCP=\angle DXC-\angle P=\angle DI_2C-\angle P=90^{\circ}-\frac{\angle P}{2}\Longrightarrow Y\in \odot(\triangle AI_1B)\\ \\
\angle DYC=\angle XAD+\angle XBC=\angle BXA+\angle P=180^{\circ}-\angle AOB+\angle P=180^{\circ}-\angle P\Longrightarrow Y\in \odot(\triangle DHC)
\end{array}\right\}\Longrightarrow Y$ is one of intersection of circumcircles of $AI_1B,DHC$ and $Y=\odot(BXD)\cap \odot(AXD)$

Similarly we can prove if $X'$ is second intrsection of circumcircles $AOB$ and $CI_2D$ and $Y'$ be the second intersection of circumcircles $DHC,AI_1B$ then $AX'Y'D,BX'Y'C$ are cyclic. Hence:

$\begin{cases}
AXYD,BXYC\ \text{are cyclic}\\ \\
AX'Y'D,BX'Y'C\ \text{are cyclic}\end{cases}$

So the circumcircles of $AOB$ and $DI_2C$ are tangent $\Longleftrightarrow\ X=X'\Longleftrightarrow Y=Y'\Longleftrightarrow$ circumcircles of $DHC,AI_1B$ are tangent.

I have another idea
Idea: two circles are tangent iff the distance between centers be equal with the sum of radiuses.
And hopefully the centers of these circles and their radiuses are well known.
Can someone complete this idea, please?
(This is urgent for me)
