In the $xyz$-plane given points $P,\ Q$ on the planes $z=2,\ z=1$ respectively. Let $R$ be the intersection point of the line $PQ$ and the $xy$-plane.

(1) Let $P(0,\ 0,\ 2)$. When the point $Q$ moves on the perimeter of the circle with center $(0,\ 0,\ 1)$ , radius 1 on the plane $z=1$,
find the equation of the locus of the point $R$.

(2) Take 4 points $A(1,\ 1,\ 1) , B(1,-1,\ 1), C(-1,-1,\ 1)$ and $D(-1,\ 1,\ 1)$ on the plane $z=2$. When the point $P$ moves on the perimeter of the circle with center $(0,\ 0,\ 2)$ , radius 1 on the plane $z=2$ and the point $Q$ moves on the perimeter of the square $ABCD$, draw the domain swept by the point $R$ on the $xy$-plane, then find the area.

Elmo is now learning olympiad geometry. In triangle $ABC$ with $AB\neq AC$, let its incircle be tangent to sides $BC$, $CA$, and $AB$ at $D$, $E$, and $F$, respectively. The internal angle bisector of $\angle BAC$ intersects lines $DE$ and $DF$ at $X$ and $Y$, respectively. Let $S$ and $T$ be distinct points on side $BC$ such that $\angle XSY=\angle XTY=90^\circ$. Finally, let $\gamma$ be the circumcircle of $\triangle AST$.

(a) Help Elmo show that $\gamma$ is tangent to the circumcircle of $\triangle ABC$.

(b) Help Elmo show that $\gamma$ is tangent to the incircle of $\triangle ABC$.

Difficult combinatorics problem
shactal   0
3 hours ago
Can someone help me with this problem? Let $n\in \mathbb N^*$. We call a distribution the act of distributing the integers from $1$
to $n^2$ represented by tokens to players $A_1$ to $A_n$ so that they all have the same number of tokens in their urns.
We say that $A_i$ beats $A_j$ when, when $A_i$ and $A_j$ each draw a token from their urn, $A_i$ has a strictly greater chance of drawing a larger number than $A_j$. We then denote $A_i>A_j$. A distribution is said to be chicken-fox-viper when $A_1>A_2>\ldots>A_n>A_1$ What is $R(n)$
, the number of chicken-fox-viper distributions?

Let $L$ be the midpoint of $BO$, then $BL=LO=ON$. Suppose, without loss of generality, that $LO=1$, we know that $MO$ is a perpendicular bisector of $AB$, if $\angle ABO=x$ then $MO=2\sin(x)$.
A parallel to $AB$ through $N$ intersects $MO$ and $AO$ at $D$ and $E$, respectively, so $F=ME\cap BO$. We see that $OND\sim OBM$ so $MO/OD=BO/ON=2$ (*). Since $\angle NOD=EOD$ and $OD\perp NE$ we have $NOD\cong EOD$, that is, $E$ is the reflection of $N$ wrt $MD$ then $EMN$ is isosceles with $\angle M=64$, then by (*) we have that $O$ is the centroid of $EMN$ so $ON=2OF$ and since $OE\parallel ML$ we have that $OF=LF=1/2$. Let's apply the bisector theorem in $OML$
