Let $P$ be a point and $\omega$ be a circle with center $O$ and radius $r$ . We define the power of the point $P$ with respect to the circle $\omega$ to be $OP^2 - r^2$ , and we denote this by pow $(P, \omega)$. We define the radical axis of two circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ to be the locus of all points P such that pow $(P,\omega_1) =$ pow $(P,\omega_2)$. It turns out that the pairwise radical axes of three circles are either concurrent or pairwise parallel. The concurrence point is referred to as the radical center of the three circles.
In $\vartriangle ABC$, let $I$ be the incenter, $\Gamma$ be the circumcircle, and $O$ be the circumcenter. Let $A_1,B_1,C_1$ be the point of tangency of the incircle of $\vartriangle ABC$ with side $BC,CA, AB$, respectively. Let $X_1,X_2 \in \Gamma$ such that $X_1,B_1,C_1,X_2$ are collinear in this order. Let $M_A$ be the midpoint of $BC$, and define $\omega_A$ as the circumcircle of $\vartriangle X_1X_2M_A$. Define $\omega_B$ ,$\omega_C$ analogously. The goal of this problem is to show that the radical center of $\omega_A$, $\omega_B$, $\omega_C$ lies on line $OI$.
(a) Let$ A'_1$ denote the intersection of $B_1C_1$ and $BC$. Show that $\frac{A_1B}{A_1C}=\frac{A'_1B}{A'_1C}$.
(b) Prove that $A_1$ lies on $\omega_A$.
(c) Prove that $A_1$ lies on the radical axis of $\omega_B$ and $\omega_C$ .
(d) Prove that the radical axis of $\omega_B$ and $\omega_C$ is perpendicular to $B_1C_1$.
(e) Prove that the radical center of $\omega_A$, $\omega_B$, $\omega_C$ is the orthocenter of $\vartriangle A_1B_1C_1$.
(f ) Conclude that the radical center of $\omega_A$, $\omega_B$, $\omega_C$ , $O$, and $I$ are collinear.

[hide=Intro]The answers to each of the ten questions in this section are integers containing only the digits $ 1$ through $ 8$, inclusive. Each answer can be written into the grid on the answer sheet, starting from the cell with the problem number, and continuing across or down until the entire answer has been written. Answers may cross dark lines. If the answers are correctly filled in, it will be uniquely possible to write an integer from $ 1$ to $ 8$ in every cell of the grid, so that each number will appear exactly once in every row, every column, and every marked $2$ by $4$ box. You will get $7$ points for every correctly filled answer, and a $15$ point bonus for filling in every gridcell. It will help to work back and forth between the grid and the problems, although every problem is uniquely solvable on its own.
Please write clearly within the boxes. No points will be given for a cell without a number, with multiple
numbers, or with illegible handwriting.[/hide]
