Let $\triangle ABC$ be an acute-angled triangle with $AB \not= AC$. Let $H$ be the orthocenter of triangle $ABC$, and let $M$ be the midpoint of the side $BC$. Let $D$ be a point on the side $AB$ and $E$ a point on the side $AC$ such that $AE=AD$ and the points $D$, $H$, $E$ are on the same line. Prove that the line $HM$ is perpendicular to the common chord of the circumscribed circles of triangle $\triangle ABC$ and triangle $\triangle ADE$.

Popular children at camp with algebra and geometry

Fix an odd integer $n\geq 3$. At a maths camp, there are $n^2$ children, each of whom selects
either algebra or geometry as their favourite topic. At lunch, they sit at $n$ tables, with $n$ children
on each table, and start talking about mathematics. A child is said to be popular if their favourite
topic has a majority at their table. For dinner, the students again sit at $n$ tables, with $n$ children
on each table, such that no two children share a table at both lunch and dinner. Determine the
minimal number of young mathematicians who are popular at both mealtimes. (The minimum is across all sets of topic preferences and seating arrangements.)

Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle with $\angle ABC > 45^{\circ}$ and $\angle ACB > 45^{\circ}$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of the side $BC$. The circumcircle of triangle $ABM$ intersects the side $AC$ again at $X\neq A$ and the circumcircle of triangle $ACM$ intersects the side $AB$ again at $Y\neq A$. The point $P$ lies on the perpendicular bisector of the segment $BC$ so that the points $P$ and $A$ lie on the same side of $XY$ and $\angle XPY = 90^{\circ} + \angle BAC$. Prove that the circumcircles of triangles $BPY$ and $CPX$ are tangent.

Consider five points on a circle. For every three of them, we draw the perpendicular from the centroid of the triangle they determine to the line through the remaining two points. Prove that the ten lines thus formed are concurrent.

Let $M$ be center of mass of this $5$ points. Let $X$ be centroid of some triangle and $Y$ be midpoint of chord with two other points. Then if line $OM$ intersects line drawn through $X$ at point $P$, then $\frac{OM}{MP}=\frac{MY}{MX}=\frac{3}{2}$, so position of $P$ is uniquely determined by the position of points $O,M$. (if $M=O$, then $P=O$).
Generalization of this problem is in plane geometry by V. Prasolov (problem 14.13): on a circle, $n$ points are given. Through the center of mass of $n-2$ points a straight line is drawn perpendicularly to the chord that connects the two remaining points. Prove that all such straight lines intersect at one point.
