In the plane points $A,B,C$ are marked in blue and points $P,Q$ are marked in red (no 3 marked points lie on a line, and no 4 marked points lie on a circle). A circle is called [b]separating[/b] if all points of one color are inside it, and all points of the other color are outside of it. Denote by $O$ the circumcenter of $ABC$ and by $R$ the circumradius of $ABC$. Prove that [b]exactly one[/b] of the following holds: [list] [*] There exists a separating circle; [*] There exists a point $X$ on the segment $PQ$ which also lies inside the triangle $ABC$, for which $PX\cdot XQ = R^2-OX^2$.

A lattice point in the plane is a point both of whose coordinates are integers. Each lattice point has four neighboring points: upper, lower, left, and right. Let $k$ be a circle with radius $r \geq 2$, that does not pass through any lattice point. An interior boundary point is a lattice point lying inside the circle $k$ that has a neighboring point lying outside $k$. Similarly, an exterior boundary point is a lattice point lying outside the circle $k$ that has a neighboring point lying inside $k$. Prove that there are four more exterior boundary points than interior boundary points.

Three circles $S_A, S_B$, and $S_C$ in the plane with centers in $A, B$, and $C$, respectively, are mutually tangential on the outside. The touchpoint between $S_A$ and $S_B$ we call $C'$, the one $S_A$ between $S_C$ we call $B'$, and the one between $S_B$ and $S_C$ we call $A'$. The common tangent between $S_A$ and $S_C$ (passing through B') we call $\ell_B$, and the common tangent between $S_B$ and $S_C$ (passing through $A'$) we call $\ell_A$. The intersection point of $\ell_A$ and $\ell_B$ is called $X$. The point $Y$ is located so that $\angle XBY$ and $\angle YAX$ are both right angles. Show that the points $X, Y$, and $C'$ lie on a line if and only if $AC = BC$.
