Source: Serbia JBMO TST 2025, Problem 1
Let $M$ be a random point on the smaller arc $AB$ of the circumcircle of square $ABCD$, and let $N$ be the intersection point of segments $AC$ and $DM$. The feet of the tangents from point $D$ to the circumcircle of the triangle $OMN$ are $P$ and $Q$ , where $O$ is the center of the square. Prove that points $A$, $C$, $P$ and $Q$ lie on a single circle.

Elmo is now learning olympiad geometry. In triangle $ABC$ with $AB\neq AC$, let its incircle be tangent to sides $BC$, $CA$, and $AB$ at $D$, $E$, and $F$, respectively. The internal angle bisector of $\angle BAC$ intersects lines $DE$ and $DF$ at $X$ and $Y$, respectively. Let $S$ and $T$ be distinct points on side $BC$ such that $\angle XSY=\angle XTY=90^\circ$. Finally, let $\gamma$ be the circumcircle of $\triangle AST$.

(a) Help Elmo show that $\gamma$ is tangent to the circumcircle of $\triangle ABC$.

(b) Help Elmo show that $\gamma$ is tangent to the incircle of $\triangle ABC$.

Let $ABCD$ be a convex quadrilateral with pairwise distinct side lengths such that $AC\perp BD$. Let $O_1,O_2$ be the circumcenters of $\Delta ABD, \Delta CBD$, respectively. Show that $AO_2, CO_1$, the Euler line of $\Delta ABC$ and the Euler line of $\Delta ADC$ are concurrent.

(Remark: The Euler line of a triangle is the line on which its circumcenter, centroid, and orthocenter lie.)

Let the set \( A = \left\{ \frac{f(x)}{x} \;\middle|\; x \neq 0,\ x \in \mathbb{R} \right\} \) be finite.
Find all functions \( f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} \) satisfying the following condition for all real numbers \( x \):
\[
f(x - 1 - f(x)) = f(x) - x - 1.
