Any pure projective solution? I mean no metrics, Menelaus, Ceva, bary, etc
Only pappus, desargues, dit, etc
Btw prove that $X',P,K$ are collinear, and $P,Q$ are arbitrary points

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.

Given triangle $ABC$ inscribed in $(O)$. Two points $D, E$ lie on $BC$ such that $AD, AE$ are isogonal in $\widehat{BAC}$. $M$ is the midpoint of $AE$. $K$ lies on $DM$ such that $OK \bot AE$. $AD$ intersects $(O)$ at $P$. Prove that the line through $K$ parallel to $OP$ passes through the Euler center of triangle $ABC$.

Hi,

Due to the search handle issue in youtube. My channel is renamed to Olympiad Geometry Club. And the new link is as following:

https://www.youtube.com/@OlympiadGeometryClub

Recently I introduced the concept of harmonic bundle. I will move on to the conjugate median soon. In the future, I will discuss more than a thousand theorems on plane geometry and hopefully it can help to the students preparing for the Olympiad competition.

Please share this to the people may need it.

Thank you!

The triangle $ABC$ has a right angle at $A$. The centre of the circumcircle is called $O$, and the base point of the normal from $O$ to $AC$ is called $D$. The point $E$ lies on $AO$ with $AE = AD$. The angle bisector of $\angle CAO$ meets $CE$ in $Q$. The lines $BE$ and $OQ$ intersect in $F$. Show that the lines $CF$ and $OE$ are parallel.

Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle with orthocenter $H$, and let $D$ denote the foot of the altitude from $B$ to $\overline{AC}$. Let the circle $\Omega$ with diameter $\overline{BC}$ intersect altitude $\overline{AH}$ at distinct points $X$ and $Y$. Suppose that the circle with center $C$ passing through point $X$ intersects segment $\overline{BD}$ at $L$. Line $\overline{CL}$ meets $\Omega$ at $P \neq C$. If $\overline{PX}$ intersects $\overline{AL}$ at $R$, and $\overline{PY}$ intersects $\overline{AL}$ at $S$, prove that $\Omega$ is tangent to the circumcircle of $\triangle DRS$.

Very cute.

Let $\overline{AH} \cap \overline{BC} = E$.

Since $[CL]^2 = [CX]^2= [CY]^2 \Rightarrow L$ is the incenter of $\triangle PXY $.
$[CL]^2 = [CX]^2 = [CE] \cdot [CB] = [CD] \cdot [CA] \Rightarrow \overline{AL} \perp \overline{CL}\Rightarrow R$ and $S $ belong to the $P $ mixtilinear incircle of $\triangle PXY$.
Since $B $ is the midpoint of arc $XPY$ and $B - L - D \Rightarrow D$ belongs to the $P $ mixtilinear incircle of $\triangle PXY$.

This clearly implies that the circumcircle of $\triangle DRS$ is the $P $ mixtilinear incircle of $\triangle PXY$ thus tangent to $\Omega$.

Let $D$ be foot of $A$ to $\overline{BC}$.

Claim: $\measuredangle ALC=90^\circ$.
Proof: Say $L'$ is point on segment $\overline{BE}$ such that $\measuredangle AL'C=90^\circ$ so $\overline{CL'}$ is tangent to $(AEL')$ and also $\overline{CX}$ is tangent to $(BXD)$ and hence by PoP we have $CL'^2=CE \cdot CA=CD \cdot CB=CX^2$ and so $L \in (C,CX)$. $\square$

Claim: $L$ is incenter of $\triangle PXY$.
Proof: $\measuredangle XPL=\measuredangle XYC=\measuredangle CXY=\measuredangle LPY$ and see that $C$ is minor arc midpoint of $\widehat{XY}$ and so $L \in (C,CX)$ and $L$ obviously lies inside $\triangle PXY$ and so by IE lemma, the result follows. $\square$

Now $B$ is major arc midpoint of $\widehat{XY}$ and so $E=\overline{BC} \cap (PXY)$ and hence it is the $P$-Mixtilinear intouch point and by first claim $(RES)$ is $P$-Mixtilinear incircle and done.
