Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle. Let $A'$ be the reflection of point $A$ over the line $BC$. Let $O$ and $H$ be the circumcenter and the orthocenter of triangle $ABC$, respectively, and let $E$ be the midpoint of segment $OH$. Let $D$ and $L$ be the points where the reflection of line $AA'$ with respect to line $OA'$ intersects the circumcircle of triangle $ABC$, where point $D$ lies on the arc $BC$ not containing $A$. If \( M \) is a point on the line \( BC \) such that \( OM \perp AD \), prove that \( \angle MAD = \angle EAL \).

LeRoy and Bernardo went on a week-long trip together and agreed to share the costs equally. Over the week, each of them paid for various joint expenses such as gasoline and car rental. At the end of the trip it turned out that LeRoy had paid $A$ dollars and Bernardo had paid $B$ dollars, where $A < B$. How many dollars must LeRoy give to Bernardo so that they share the costs equally?

How should the third side $c$ be chosen so that the points of contact of the incircle and the excircle with side $c$ divide that side into three equal segments? (The excircle corresponding to the side $c$ is the circle which is tangent to the side $c$ and to the extensions of the sides $a$ and $b$.)
