Let $s$ be an arbitrary straight line passing through the incenter $I$ of the triangle $ABC$ . Line $s$ intersects lines $AB$ and $BC$ at points $D$ and $E$, respectively. Points $P$ and $Q$ are the centers of the circumscribed circles of triangles $DAI$ and $CEI$, respectively, and point $F$ is the second intersection point of these circles. Prove that the circumcircle of the triangle $PQF$ is always passes through a fixed point on the plane regardless of the position of the straight line $s$. (Matvii Kurskyi)

In isosceles triangle $ABC$, $A$ is located at the origin and $B$ is located at $(20, 0)$. Point $C$ is in the first quadrant with $AC = BC$ and $\angle BAC = 75^\circ$. If $\triangle ABC$ is rotated counterclockwise about point $A$ until the image of $C$ lies on the positive y-axis, the area of the region common to the original and the rotated triangle is in the form $p\sqrt{2}+q\sqrt{3}+r\sqrt{6}+s$ where $p$, $q$, $r$, $s$ are integers. Find $(p-q+r-s)/2$.

Let $f:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{R}_{>0}$ be a given increasing function that takes positive values. For any pair $(m,n)$ of positive integers, we call it [i]disobedient[/i] if $f(mn)\neq f(m)f(n)$.

Show that if there exists some disobedient pair, then there exists some ultra-disobedient positive integer. [i] Proposed by usjl[/i]
