Let $\Delta ABC$ be a triangle with circumcircle $\omega$, $P_A, P_B, P_C$ be the foot of altitudes from $A, B, C$ onto the opposite sides respectively and $H$ the orthocentre. Reflect $H$ across the line $BC$ to obtain $Q$. Suppose there exists points $I,J \in \omega$ such that $P_A$ is the incentre of $\Delta QIJ$. If $M$ and $N$ be the midpoints of $\overline{P_AP_B}$ and $\overline{P_AP_C}$ respectively, then show that $I,J,M,N$ are collinear.

Problem. Let $ABC$ be an acute-angled triangle with $AC > AB$, let $O$ be its circumcentre. The line through $A$ perpendicular to $BC$ intersects circle $(O)$ again at $T$. The tangents at $B$ and $C$ of $(O)$ intersect at $S$. $AS$ intersects $(O)$ at $X \neq A$. $OB$ intersects $AT$ at $P$. Let $N$ be the midpoint of $TC$.
Prove that $T, P, N, X$ are concyclic.

Let $N$ be a positive integer, and consider an $N \times N$ grid. A right-down path is a sequence of grid cells such that each cell is either one cell to the right of or one cell below the previous cell in the sequence. A right-up path is a sequence of grid cells such that each cell is either one cell to the right of or one cell above the previous cell in the sequence.

Prove that the cells of the $N \times N$ grid cannot be partitioned into less than $N$ right-down or right-up paths. For example, the following partition of the $5 \times 5$ grid uses $5$ paths.

Dear Sqing: So Many Inequalities...

I have noticed thousands upon thousands of inequalities that you have posted to HSO and was wondering where you get the inspiration, imagination, and even the validation that such inequalities are true? Also, what do you find particularly appealing and important about specifically inequalities rather than other branches of mathematics? Thank you :)

Let $ML\cap BC=N$ and $AM\cap BC=D$, it is well known that $MI=MB=MC$ and with inversion centered at $M$ with radius $MI$ you get that $N$ becomes $L$ and $D$ becomes $A$, the rest is angle chasing.

Actually, you can skip inversion in my above solution and use triangle similarity.
