Let $l,m$ be two parallel lines in the plane. Let $P$ be a fixed point between them. Let $E,F$ be variable points on $l,m$ such that the angle $EPF$ is fixed to a number like $\alpha$ where $0<\alpha<\frac{\pi}2$. (By angle $EPF$ we mean the directed angle) Show that there is another point (not $P$) such that it sees the segment $EF$ with a fixed angle too.

Two equal hard triangles are given. One of their angles is equal to $ \alpha$ (these angles are marked). Dispose these triangles on the plane in such a way that the angle formed by some three vertices would be equal to $ \alpha / 2$. [i](No instruments are allowed, even a pencil.)[/i] (E. Bakayev, A. Zaslavsky)

We say that a circle is [i]half-inscribed[/i] in a triangle, if its center lies on one side of the triangle, and it is tangent to the other two sides. Show that a triangle that has two half-inscribed circles of equal radii, is isosceles. (Recall that a triangle is said to be [i]isosceles[/i], if it has two sides of equal length.)

Sides of a triangle are equal to $3$, $4$ and $5$. Each side is extended until it intersects the bisector of the external angle to the angle opposite to it. Three such points are obtained in all. Prove that one of the three points we get is the midpoint of the segment joining the other two points. (V. Prasolov)
