G1. Let X and Y be fixed points on a line `, and let P be some point lying on XY such that X, Y, P
lie on ` in that order. Let be some circle passing through X and Y , and let O be its center. Let
Q 6= X, Y be some point lying on the circumcircle of 4OXY . Show that the circumcircle of 4P QX
is tangent to if and only if the circumcircle of 4P QY is tangent to .

G2. Let ABC be an acute triangle, and let E and F be the feet of the altitudes from B and C to AC

and AB, respectively. Let EF meet the circumcircle of ABC at points S1 and S2 . Let be a circle
passing through S1 and S2 such that its center lies on arc BAC, and let M be the midpoint of BC.
Let T1 and T2 exist on such that M T1 and M T2 are tangent to .

Let S1 T1 S2 T2 = W , S1 T2 S2 T1 = Z, BT1 CT2 = X, and BT2 CT1 = Y . Show that XY meets

W Z at the orthocenter of ABC.

G3. Let ABC be an acute triangle, let H be its orthocenter, and let E and F be the feet of the altitudes
from B and C to the sides of the triangle, respectively. Let M be the midpoint of BC, and let X

and Y be the feet of the perpendiculars from M to AB, AC, respectively. Let XY meet EF at a
point P , and let Z be a point lying on XY such that AZ HP .
Prove that AZM + HP E = 180 .
