Let $\Omega$ be a circle, and $B, C$ are two fixed points on $\Omega$. Given a third point $A$ on $\Omega$, let $X$ and $Y$ denote the feet of the altitudes from $B$ and $C$, respectively, in the triangle $ABC$. Prove that there exists a fixed circle $\Gamma$ such that $XY$ is tangent to $\Gamma$ regardless of the choice of the point $A$.

Let $ABC$ be a scalene triangle with incircle $\omega$. Denote by $N$ the midpoint of arc $BAC$ in the circumcircle of $ABC$, and by $D$ the point where the $A$-excircle touches $BC$. Suppose the circumcircle of $AND$ meets $BC$ again at $P \neq D$ and intersects $\omega$ at two points $X$, $Y$.

Prove that either $PX$ or $PY$ is tangent to $\omega$.

The quadrilateral $ABCD$ is divided into cyclic quadrilaterals with pairwise disjoint interiors. None of the vertices of the cyclic quadrilaterals in the decomposition is an interior point of a side of any cyclic quadrilateral in the decomposition or of a side of the quadrilateral $ABCD$. Prove that $ABCD$ is also a cyclic quadrilateral.
