Let $ABC$ be a right angled triangle with $\angle A=90$.Let $M$ be the midpoint of $BC$, and $P$ be an arbitrary point on $AM$. The reflection of $BP$ over $AB$ intersects lines $AC$ and $AM$ at $T$ and $Q$, respectively. The circumcircles of $BPQ$ and $ABC$ intersect again at $F$. Prove that the center of the circumcircle of $CFT$ lies on $BQ$.

Dear Mathlinkers,

1. ABC a triangle
2. 0 the circumcircle
3. I the incenter
4. 1 a circle passing througn B and C
5. X, Y the second points of intersection of 1 wrt BI, CI
6. 2 the circumcircle of the triangle XYI
7. M, N the symetrics of B, C wrt XY.

Question : if 2 is tangent to 0 then, 2 is tangent to MN.

Sincerely
Jean-Louis

Hi,

Due to the search handle issue in youtube. My channel is renamed to Olympiad Geometry Club. And the new link is as following:

https://www.youtube.com/@OlympiadGeometryClub

Recently I introduced the concept of harmonic bundle. I will move on to the conjugate median soon. In the future, I will discuss more than a thousand theorems on plane geometry and hopefully it can help to the students preparing for the Olympiad competition.

Please share this to the people may need it.

Thank you!

Given the rhombus $ABCD$ with its incircle $\omega$. Let $E$ and $F$ be the points of tangency of $\omega$ with $AB$ and $AC$ respectively. On the edges $CB$ and $CD$, take points $G$ and $H$ such that $GH$ is tangent to $\omega$ at $P$. Suppose $Q$ is the intersection point of the lines $EG$ and $FH$. Prove that two lines $AP$ and $CQ$ are parallel or coincide.

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with orthocenter $H,$ and let $M$ be the midpoint of $\overline{BC}.$ Suppose that $P$ and $Q$ are distinct points on the circle with diameter $\overline{AH},$ different from $A,$ such that $M$ lies on line $PQ.$ Prove that the orthocenter of $\triangle APQ$ lies on the circumcircle of $\triangle ABC.$

Let $\triangle{ABC}$ be a scalene oblique triangle with circumcenter $O$ and orthocenter $H$, and $P$ ($\neq \text{X(3), X(4)}$, $\notin \odot(ABC)$) a point in the plane.
Let $\triangle{A_1B_1C_1}$, $\triangle{A_2B_2C_2}$ be the circumcevian triangles of $O$, $P$, respectively.
Let $\triangle{P_AP_BP_C}$ be the pedal triangle of $P$ with respect to $\triangle{ABC}$.
Let $A_1'$ be the reflection in $P_A$ of $A_1$. Define $B_1'$, $C_1'$ cyclically.
Let $A_2'$ be the reflection in $P_A$ of $A_2$. Define $B_2'$, $C_2'$ cyclically.
Let $O_1$, $O_2$ be the circumcenters of $\triangle{A_1'B_1'C_1'}$, $\triangle{A_2'B_2'C_2'}$, respectively.

Prove that:
1) $P$, $O_1$, $O_2$ are collinear if and only if $P$ lies on the Jerabek hyperbola of $\triangle{ABC}$.
2) $H$, $O_1$, $O_2$ are collinear if and only if $P$ lies on the Lemoine cubic (= $\text{K009}$) of $\triangle{ABC}$.

For a triangle $\triangle ABC$ with an obtuse angle $\angle A$ , let $E , F$ be feet of altitudes from $B , C$ on sides $AC , AB$ respectively. The tangents from $B , C$ to circumcircle of triangle $\triangle ABC$ intersect line $EF$ at points $K , L$ respectively and we know that $\angle CLB=135$. Point $R$ lies on segment $BK$ in such a way that $KR=KL$ and let $S$ be a point on line $BK$ such that $K$ is between $B , S$ and $\angle BLS=135$. Prove that the circle with diameter $RS$ is tangent to circumcircle of triangle $\triangle ABC$.

Let $N$ midpoint of arc $EAF$ on $(AEF)$ then let $EF \cap BC=H$ notice that $HA \cdot HN=HE \cdot HF=HD \cdot HG$ so $NAGD$ is cyclic and thus by the perpendiculars we get $N,I,G$ colinear, now let $D'$ the A-excenter of $\triangle DEF$, let $K,L$ the E,F excenters of $\triangle AEF$ respectively then finally let $G'$ the D'-queue point of $\triangle D'KL$, notice how we have $D'G' \parallel BC$ from the condition but also from radax $D',G,'H$ colinear which forces that $D=D'$ and $G=G'$ and thus we are done by I-E Lemma.

No, it's not from IMO SL, but it's very curious where is it from then, given the coincidence.

What should we do with this problem — should we keep it or remove it? Problem 6 was similarly a duplicate and was removed before anyone wrote a solution. This one, however, has already been discussed, but I can still remove the statement if necessary — should I?
