Quadrilateral $ABCD$ has an incenter $I$ Suppose $AB > BC$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of $AC$. Suppose that $MI \perp BI$. $DI$ meets $(BDM)$ again at point $T$. Let points $P$ and $Q$ be such that $T$ is the midpoint of $MP$ and $I$ is the midpoint of $MQ$. Point $S$ lies on the plane such that $AMSQ$ is a parallelogram, and suppose the angle bisectors of $MCQ$ and $MSQ$ concur on $IM$.

The angle bisectors of $\angle PAQ$ and $\angle PCQ$ meet $PQ$ at $X$ and $Y$. Prove that $PX = QY$.

Game About Passing Pencils
WilliamSChen   0
an hour ago
A group of $n$ children sit in a circle facing inward with $n > 2$, and each child starts with an arbitrary even number of pencils. Each minute, each child simultaneously passes exactly half of all of their pencils to the child to their right. Then, all children that have an odd number of pencils receive one more pencil.
Prove that after a finite amount of time, the children will all have the same number of pencils.

I do not know the source.

Source: USAMO 1999 Problem 1
Some checkers placed on an $n \times n$ checkerboard satisfy the following conditions:

(a) every square that does not contain a checker shares a side with one that does;

(b) given any pair of squares that contain checkers, there is a sequence of squares containing checkers, starting and ending with the given squares, such that every two consecutive squares of the sequence share a side.

Prove that at least $(n^{2}-2)/3$ checkers have been placed on the board.

Coaxial circles related to Gergon point
Headhunter   0
an hour ago
Source: I tried but can't find the source...
Hi, everyone.

In $\triangle$$ABC$, $Ge$ is the Gergon point and the incircle $(I)$ touch $BC$, $CA$, $AB$ at $D$, $E$, $F$ respectively.
Let the circumcircles of $\triangle IDGe$, $\triangle IEGe$, $\triangle IFGe$ be $O_{1}$ , $O_{2}$ , $O_{3}$ respectively.

Reflect $O_{1}$ in $ID$ and then we get the circle $O'_{1}$
Reflect $O_{2}$ in $IE$ and then the circle $O'_{2}$
Reflect $O_{3}$ in $IF$ and then the circle $O'_{3}$

Prove that $O'_{1}$ , $O'_{2}$ , $O'_{3}$ are coaxial.

Let $\triangle ABC$ be a scalene triangle such that $\Omega$ is its incircle. $AB$ is tangent to $\Omega$ at $D$. A point $E$ ($E \notin \Omega$) is located on $BC$.

Let $\omega_1$, $\omega_2$, and $\omega_3$ be the incircles of the triangles $BED$, $ADE$, and $AEC$, respectively.

Show that the common tangent to $\omega_1$ and $\omega_3$ is also tangent to $\omega_2$.

Fairly simple..
Though who am I to say when I took 30 minutes just to realize it's an angle chase.

Let $AH$ intersect $BC$ at $D$. Denote $Q, Z$ the antipodal points of $B$ in $(BHT)$ and $(ABC)$, respectively. From $C$ we draw a line parallel to side $AB$ intersecting $(ABC)$ again at $L$. The main claim is that $X, T, L$ are collinear (Which proves the problem statement). That being said, we're going to point out that $\angle QXT = \angle QXL$.
Note that, as $\angle BXQ = \angle BXZ = 90^{\circ}$, $X, Q, Z$ should be collinear. A final observation would be that as $B$ and $Q$ are diametrically opposite in $(BQT)$, we should have $\angle BHQ = 90^{\circ}$, implying $HQ \parallel AC$. Now, we will do some angle chasing:
\[ \angle QXL = \angle ZXL = \angle ZBL = \angle ZBC - \angle LBC = ... = 90^{\circ} - \angle ABC \]\[ \angle QXT = \angle QHT = \angle THF - \angle QHF = \angle BHD - \angle ACF = ... = 90^{\circ} - \angle ABC \]And we should be done! :-D

That's the first out of four problems in the 9th grade, what do you guys expect it to be? If you want to try out some harder problems, go solve the last problems of the tests, like 9.4,9.8,10.4,10.8,11.4,11.8 and as it turned out 11.3.

Chill, I didn't mean it like that. Just saying, simpler than it sounds. $(BHT)$ isn't something you see everyday :maybe:
