Let $ABC$ be an acute scalene triangle. Choose a circle $\omega$ passing through $B$ and $C$ which intersects the segments $AB$ and $AC$ at the interior points $D$ and $E$, respectively. The lines $BE$ and $CD$ intersects at $F$. Let $G$ be a point on the circumcircle of $ABF$ such that $GB$ is tangent to $\omega$ and let $H$ be a point on the circumcircle of $ACF$ such that $HC$ is tangent to $\omega$. Prove that there exists a point $T\neq A$, independent of the choice of $\omega$, such that the circumcircle of triangle $AGH$ passes through $T$.
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.
Equilateral triangle $ABC$ has side length $2$. A semicircle is drawn with diameter $BC$ such that it lies outside the triangle, and minor arc $BC$ is drawn so that it is part of a circle centered at $A$. The area of the “lune” that is inside the semicircle but outside sector $ABC$ can be expressed in the form $\sqrt{p}-\frac{q\pi}{r}$, where $p, q$, and $ r$ are positive integers such that $q$ and $r$ are relatively prime. Compute $p + q + r$. [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/7/7/f349a807583a83f93ba413bebf07e013265551.png[/img]
Prove that the only way to cover a square of side $1$ with a finite number of circles that do not overlap, it is with only one circle of radius greater than or equal to $\frac{1}{\sqrt2}$. Circles can occupy part of the outside of the square and be of different radii.
Let $ABCD$ be a convex quadrilateral with the line $CD$ being tangent to the circle on diameter $AB$. Prove that the line $AB$ is tangent to the circle on diameter $CD$ if and only if the lines $BC$ and $AD$ are parallel.
Suppose that $A,B,C,D$ are points on a circle, $AB$ is the diameter, $CD$ is perpendicular to $AB$ and meets $AB$ and meets $AB$ at $E , AB$ and $CD$ are integers and $AE - EB=\sqrt{3}$. Find $AE$?
Is it possible to place some circles inside a square side length $1$, such that no two circles intersect and the sum of their radii is $2007$?
The vertices of a convex pentagon $ABCDE$ lie on a circle $\gamma_1$. The diagonals $AC , CE, EB, BD$, and $DA$ are tangents to another circle $\gamma_2$ with the same centre as $\gamma_1$. (a) Show that all angles of the pentagon $ABCDE$ have the same size and that all edges of the pentagon have the same length. (b) What is the ratio of the radii of the circles $\gamma_1$ and $\gamma_2$? (The answer should be given in terms of integers, the four basic arithmetic operations and extraction of roots only.)
Two circles in the plane, both of radius $R$, intersect at a right angle. Compute the area of the intersection of the interiors of the two circles.
The triangle $ABC$ is inscribed in the circle $S$ and $AB <AC$. The line containing $A$ and is perpendicular to $BC$ meets $S$ in $P$ ($P \ne A$). Point $X$ is on the segment $AC$ and the line $BX$ intersects $S$ in $Q$ ($Q \ne B$). Show that $BX = CX$ if, and only if, $PQ$ is a diameter of $S$.
Let $A$ be one of the two distinct points of intersection of two unequal coplanar circles $C_1$ and $C_2$ with centers $O_1$ and $O_2$ respectively. One of the common tangents to the circles touches $C_1$ at $P_1$ and $C_2$ at $P_2$, while the other touches $C_1$ at $Q_1$ and $C_2$ at $Q_2$. Let $M_1$ be the midpoint of $P_1Q_1$ and $M_2$ the midpoint of $P_2Q_2$. Prove that $\angle O_1AO_2=\angle M_1AM_2$.
Given a circle centered at the origin. Prove that there is a circle of smaller radius that has no less points with integer coordinates.
Let there be given a regular hexagon of side length $1$. Six circles with the sides of the hexagon as diameters are drawn. Find the area of the part of the hexagon lying outside all the circles.
Alice is standing on the circumference of a large circular room of radius $10$. There is a circular pillar in the center of the room of radius $5$ that blocks Alice’s view. The total area in the room Alice can see can be expressed in the form $\frac{m\pi}{n} +p\sqrt{q}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers and $p$ and $q$ are integers such that $q$ is square-free. Compute $m + n + p + q$. (Note that the pillar is not included in the total area of the room.)

The line $O_1B$ intersects $\omega_2$ at the point $F (F \ne B)$, and the line $O_2B$ intersects $\omega_1$ at the point $E (E\ne B)$. A line was drawn through the point $B$, parallel to the $EF$, which intersects $\omega_1$ at the point $M (M \ne B)$, and $\omega_2$ at the point $N (N\ne B)$. Prove that the lines $ME, AB$ and $NF$ intersect at one point.

Two circles intersect at points $A$ and $B$. The line $\ell$ through A intersects the circles at $C$ and $D$, respectively. Let $M, N$ be the midpoints of arc $BC$ and arc $BD$. which does not contain $A$, and suppose that $K$ is the midpoint of the segment $CD$ . Prove that $\angle MKN=90^o$.
Pete claims that he can draw $4$ segments of length $1$ and a circle of radius less than $\sqrt3 /3 $ on a piece of paper, such that all segments would lie inside the circle and there would be no line that intersects each of $4$ segments. Is Pete right?
