Problems
1. Given a triangle ABC with 6 A = 45◦ . Let A0 be the antipode of A
in the circumcircle of ABC. Points E and F on segments AB and AC
respectively are such that A0 B = BE, A0 C = CF . Let K be the second
intersection of circumcircles of triangles AEF and ABC. Prove that EF
bisects A0 K.
2. Let ABC be an acute-angled triangle with AC > BC and circumcircle
ω. Suppose that P is a point on ω such that AP = AC and that P is
an interior point on the shorter arc BC of ω. Let Q be the intersection
point of the lines AP and BC. Furthermore, suppose that R is a point on
ω such that QA = QR and R is an interior point of the shorter arc AC
of ω. Finally, let S be the point of intersection of the line BC with the
perpendicular bisector of the side AB. Prove that the points P, Q, R and
S are concyclic.
3. A convex hexagon is circumscribed about a circle of radius 1. Consider
the three segments joining the midpoints of its opposite sides. Find the

1
 greatest real number r such that the length of at least one segment is at
least r.
4. Let ABC be an acute triangle with AB < AC and 6 BAC = 60◦ . Denote
its altitudes by AD, BE, CF and its orthocenter by H. Let K, L, M be the
midpoints of sides BC, CA, AB, respectively. Prove that the midpoints of
segments AH, DK, EL, F M lie on a single circle.
5. Let ABC be an acute triangle with AC > AB > BC. The perpendicular
bisectors of AC and AB cut line BC at D and E respectively. Let P and
Q be points on lines AC and AB respectively, both different from A, such
that AB = BP and AC = CQ, and let K be the intersection of lines EP
and DQ. Let M be the midpoint of BC. Show that 6 DKA = 6 EKM
