Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle orthocenter angle $H$. Let $\omega_1$ be the circle tangent to $BC$ at $B$ and passing through $H$ and $\omega_2$ the circle tangent to $BC$ at $C$ and passing through through $H$. A line $\ell$ passing through $H$ intersects the circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ at points $D$ and $E$, respectively (with $D$ and $E$ other than $H$). Lines $BD$ and $CE$ intersect at $F$, the lines $\ell$ and $AF$ intersect at $X$ and the circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ intersect at the points $P$ and $H$. Prove that the points $A, H, P$ and $X$ are still on the same circle.

Consider an infinite array of integers. Assume that each integer is equal to the sum of the integers immediately above and immediately to the left. Assume that there exists a row $R_0$ such that all the number in the row are positive. Denote by $R_1$ the row below row $R_0$, by $R_2$ the row below row $R_1$, and so on. Show that for each positive integer $n$, row $R_n$ cannot contain more than $n$ zeros.
