(a) A point $A$ is marked inside a circle. Two perpendicular lines drawn through $A$ intersect the circle at four points. Prove that the centre of mass of these four points does not depend on the choice of the lines. (b) A regular $2n$-gon ($n \ge 2$) with centre $A$ is drawn inside a circle (A does not necessarily coincide with the centre of the circle). The rays going from $A$ to the vertices of the $2n$-gon mark $2n$ points on the circle. Then the $2n$-gon is rotated about $A$. The rays going from $A$ to the new locations of vertices mark new $2n$ points on the circle. Let $O$ and $N$ be the centres of gravity of old and new points respectively. Prove that $O = N$.

There are two parallel lines $p_1$ and $p_2$. Points $A$ and $B$ lie on $p_1$, and $C$ on $p_2$.

We took a non-equilateral acute-angled triangle and marked $4$ wonderful points in it: the centers of the inscribed and circumscribed circles, the center of gravity (the point of intersection of the medians) and the intersection point of altitudes. Then the triangle itself was erased. It turned out that it was impossible to establish which of the centers corresponds to each of the marked points. Find the angles of the triangle
