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 $A$.

The numbers from 2 to 99 are written on a board. At each step, one of the following operations is performed:

$a)$ Choose a natural number \( i \) such that \( 2 \leq i \leq 89 \). If both numbers \( i \) and \( i+10 \) are on the board, erase both.

$b)$ Choose a natural number \( i \) such that \( 2 \leq i \leq 98 \). If both numbers \( i \) and \( i+1 \) are on the board, erase both.

By performing these operations, what is the maximum number of numbers that can be erased from the board?

Let $ABC$ be a scalene acute triangle with incentre $I{}$ and circumcentre $O{}$. Let $AI$ cross $BC$ at $D$. On circle $ABC$, let $X$ and $Y$ be the mid-arc points of $ABC$ and $BCA$, respectively. Let $DX{}$ cross $CI{}$ at $E$ and let $DY{}$ cross $BI{}$ at $F{}$. Prove that the lines $FX, EY$ and $IO$ are concurrent on the external bisector of $\angle BAC$.

In triangle \( X_AX_BX_C \), let \( X \) and \( Y \) be a pair of isogonal conjugate points. The line \( XX_A \) intersects \( X_BX_C \) at \( P \), and the line \( XY \) intersects \( X_BX_C \) at \( Q \). Let the circumcircle of \( XX_BX_C \) and the circumcircle of \( XPQ \) intersect again at \( R \) (other than \( X \)). Prove that the line \( RX \) bisects \( \angle PRX_A \).
