Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle. Points $B, D, E$, and $C$ lie on a line in this order and satisfy $BD = DE = EC$. Let $M$ and $N$ be the midpoints of $AD$ and $AE$, respectively. Suppose triangle $ADE$ is acute, and let $H$ be its orthocentre. Points $P$ and $Q$ lie on lines $BM$ and $CN$, respectively, such that $D, H, M,$ and $P$ are concyclic and pairwise different, and $E, H, N,$ and $Q$ are concyclic and pairwise different. Prove that $P, Q, N,$ and $M$ are concyclic.

An infinite increasing sequence $a_1 < a_2 < a_3 < \dots$ of positive integers is called central if for every positive integer $n$, the arithmetic mean of the first $a_n$ terms of the sequence is equal to $a_n$.

Show that there exists an infinite sequence $b_1$, $b_2$, $b_3$, $\dots$ of positive integers such that for every central sequence $a_1$, $a_2$, $a_3$, $\dots$, there are infinitely many positive integers $n$ with $a_n = b_n$.

Nice property! Here is my solution.

Let $M$ be midpoint of side $BC$. It is well-known that $AXMO$ is parallelogram.
Claim $X$ is orthocenter of triangle $ATM$
Proof We have $AX \perp TM$. Since $OA \perp AT$ and $XM \parallel AO$, we deduce that $MX \perp AT$. $\square$

The rest is just angle chasing.
Note that $\angle ATX = \angle AMX = \angle OAM =\angle OTM = \angle OTB$ $\blacksquare$
