2006 Sharygin Geometry Olympiad, 23

$ABCD$ is a convex quadrangle, $G$ is its center of gravity as a homogeneous plate (i.e., the intersection point of two lines, each of which connects the centroids of triangles having a common diagonal). a) Suppose that around $ABCD$ we can circumscribe a circle centered on $O$. We define $H$ similarly to $G$, taking orthocenters instead of centroids. Then the points of $H, G, O$ lie on the same line and $HG: GO = 2: 1$. b) Suppose that in $ABCD$ we can inscribe a circle centered on $I$. The Nagel point N of the circumscribed quadrangle is the intersection point of two lines, each of which passes through points on opposite sides of the quadrangle that are symmetric to the tangent points of the inscribed circle relative to the midpoints of the sides. (These lines divide the perimeter of the quadrangle in half). Then $N, G, I$ lie on one straight line, with $NG: GI = 2: 1$.

You have $14$ coins, dated $1901$ through $1914$. Seven of these coins are real and weigh $1.000$ ounce each. The other seven are counterfeit and weigh $0.999$ ounces each. You do not know which coins are real or counterfeit. You also cannot tell which coins are real by look or feel. Fortunately for you, Zoltar the Fortune-Weighing Robot is capable of making very precise measurements. You may place any number of coins in each of Zoltar's two hands and Zoltar will do the following: [list][*] If the weights in each hand are equal, Zoltar tells you so and returns all of the coins. [*] If the weight in one hand is heavier than the weight in the other, then Zoltar takes one coin, at random, from the heavier hand as tribute. Then Zoltar tells you which hand was heavier, and returns the remaining coins to you.[/list] Your objective is to identify a single real coin that Zoltar has not taken as tribute. Is there a strategy that guarantees this? If so, then describe the strategy and why it works. If not, then prove that no such strategy exists.
