Let $ABC$ be a triangle such that $AB=AC$ and $\angle BAC$ is obtuse. Point $O$ is the circumcenter of triangle $ABC$, and $M$ is the reflection of $A$ in $BC$. Let $D$ be an arbitrary point on line $BC$, such that $B$ is in between $D$ and $C$. Line $DM$ cuts the circumcircle of $ABC$ in $E,F$. Circumcircles of triangles $ADE$ and $ADF$ cut $BC$ in $P,Q$ respectively. Prove that $DA$ is tangent to the circumcircle of triangle $OPQ$.

Let $ABC$ be an acute-angled scalene triangle with circumcircle $\Gamma$ and circumcenter $O$. Suppose $AB < AC$. Let $H$ be the orthocenter and $I$ be the incenter of triangle $ABC$. Let $F$ be the midpoint of the arc $BC$ of the circumcircle of triangle $BHC$, containing $H$.

Let $X$ be a point on the arc $AB$ of $\Gamma$ not containing $C$, such that $\angle AXH = \angle AFH$. Let $K$ be the circumcenter of triangle $XIA$. Prove that the lines $AO$ and $KI$ meet on $\Gamma$.

Given an acute triangle $ABC$. Points $D$ and $E$ lie on segments $AB$ and $AC$, respectively. Lines $BD$ and $CE$ intersect at point $F$. The circumcircles of triangles $BDF$ and $CEF$ intersect at a second point $P$. The circumcircles of triangles $ABC$ and $ADE$ intersect at a second point $Q$. Point $K$ lies on segment $AP$ such that $KQ \perp AQ$. Prove that triangles $\triangle BKD$ and $\triangle CKE$ are similar.

For any monic polynomial $Q$ of degree $d$ with integer coefficients and for any prime $p > c(2c+1)$, there exists a set $S$ of at most $\big(\tfrac{2c-1}{2c+1}\big)p$ integers, such that
\[\bigcup_{s \in S} \{s,\; Q(s),\; Q(Q(s)),\; Q(Q(Q(s))),\; \dots\}\]contains a complete residue system modulo $p$ (i.e., intersects with every residue class modulo $p$).

Dear Mathlinkers,

1. ABC a triangle
2. D, E two point on the segment BC so that BD = DE= EC
3. M, N the midpoint of ED, AE
4. H the orthocenter of the acutangle triangle ADE
5. 1, 2 the circumcircle of the triangle DHM, EHN
6. P, Q the second point of intersection of 1 and BM, 2 and CN
7. U, V the second points of intersection of 2 and MN, PQ.

Prove : UV is parallel to PM.

Well, from the EGMO problem, we know that $(PMQN)$ is cyclic, and we also have $(QNUV)$ cyclic, so $UV \parallel PM$.

Yes of course...
My idea was to prove that (PMQN) is cyclic without using this result. If we prove that UV //PM , Egmo is directly solved...

What do you think of the parallel approach... It must be a synthical proof...

Thank very much for your interest....

Very sincerely

Dear,

If we add to the hypothesis

8. X, Y the second points of intersection of 1 and MN, PQ.

then U, V, X, Y are concyclic (to prove)

and we can finish with the Reim's theorem as it was your first idea...

Sincerely
