Let I be the incentre of acute-angled triangle ABC.
Let the incircle meet BC, CA,
and AB at D, E, and F, respectively. Let line EF intersect the circumcircle of the triangle at P and Q, such that F lies between E and P. Prove that =DP A ` =AQD “ =QIP. (Slovakia) G7. The incircle ω of acute-angled scalene triangle ABC has centre I and meets sides BC, CA, and AB at D, E, and F, respectively. The line through D perpendicular to EF meets ω again at R. Line AR meets ω again at P. The circumcircles of triangles P CE and P BF meet again at Q ‰ P. Prove that lines DI and P Q meet on the external bisector of angle BAC. (India) G8. Let L be the set of all lines in the plane and let f be a function that assigns to each line ℓ P L a point fpℓq on ℓ. Suppose that for any point X, and for any three lines ℓ1, ℓ2, ℓ3 passing through X, the points fpℓ1q, fpℓ2q, fpℓ3q and X lie on a circle. Prove that there is a unique point P such that fpℓq “ P for any line ℓ passing through P. (Australia) Shortlisted problems 9 Number Theory N1.
