Let $M$ a point in the space and $G$ the centroid of a tetrahedron $ABCD$. Prove that:
$$\frac{1}{4}(AB^2+AC^2+AD^2+BC^2+BD^2+CD^2)+4MG^2=MA^2+MB^2+MC^2+MD^2$$

Given a cyclic quadrilateral $ABCD$ with $BC<AD$ and $CD<AB$. Lines $BC$ and $AD$ intersect at $X$, and lines $CD$ and $AB$ intersect at $Y$. Let $E,F,G,H$ be the midpoints of sides $AB,BC,CD,DA$, respectively. Let $S$ and $T$ be points on segment $EG$ and $FH$, respectively, so that $XS$ is the angle bisector of $\angle{DXA}$ and $YT$ is the angle bisector of $\angle{DYA}$. Prove that $TS$ is parallel to $BD$ if and only if $AC$ divides $ABCD$ into two triangles with equal area.

Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a logarithmic spiral centered at the origin (ie curve satisfying for any point $X$ on it, line $OX$ makes a fixed angle with the tangent to $\mathcal{S}$ at $X$). Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a rectangular hyperbola centered at the origin, scaled such that it is tangent to the logarithmic spiral at some point.

Prove that for a point $P$ on the spiral, the polar of $P$ wrt. $\mathcal{H}$ is tangent to the spiral.

According to Euler's quadrilateral theorem,
\[
AB^2 + CD^2 + AD^2 + BC^2 \geq AC^2 + BD^2,
\]and according to Ptolemy's inequality,
\[
AB \cdot CD + AD \cdot BC \geq AC \cdot BD.
\]Consequently,
\[
(AB+CD)^2 + (AD+BC)^2 \geq (AC+BD)^2.
\]Equality holds if and only if \(ABCD\) is a parallelogram inscribed in a circle, that is, a rectangle.
