Three cyclists ride along a circular road with radius $1$ km counterclockwise. Their velocities are constant and different. Does there necessarily exist (in a sufficiently long time) a moment when all the three distances between cyclists are greater than $1$ km? by V. Protasov

A circle $k$ with center $O$ and radius $r$ and a line $p$ which has no common points with $k$, are given. Let $E$ be the foot of the perpendicular from $O$ to $p$. Let $M$ be an arbitrary point on $p$, distinct from $E$. The tangents from the point $M$ to the circle $k$ are $MA$ and $MB$. If $H$ is the intersection of $AB$ and $OE$, then prove that $OH=\frac{r^2}{OE}$.

Points $A, B$ and $P$ lie on the circumference of a circle $\Omega_1$ such that $\angle APB$ is an obtuse angle. Let $Q$ be the foot of the perpendicular from $P$ on $AB$. A second circle $\Omega_2$ is drawn with centre $P$ and radius $PQ$. The tangents from $A$ and $B$ to $\Omega_2$ intersect $\Omega_1$ at $F$ and $H$ respectively. Prove that $FH$ is tangent to $\Omega_2$.

Let $ A$ and $ B$ be the intersections of two circumferences $\Gamma_1$, and $\Gamma_2$. Let $C$ and $D$ points in $\Gamma_1$ and $\Gamma_2$ respectively such that $AC = AD$. Let $E$ and $F$ be points in $\Gamma_1$ and $\Gamma_2$, such that $\angle ABE = \angle ABF = 90^o$. Let $K_1$ and $K_2$ be circumferences with centers $E$ and $F$ and radii $EC$ and $FD$ respectively. Let $T$ be a point in the line $AB$, but outside the segment, with $T\ne A$ and $T \ne A'$, where $A'$ is the point symmetric to $A$ with respect to $ B$. Let $X$ be the point of tangency of a tangent to $K_1$ passing through $T$, such that there arc two points of intersection of the line $TX$ to $K_2$. Let $Y$ and $Z$ be such points. Prove that $$\frac{1}{XT}=\frac{1}{XY} + \frac{1}{XZ}.$$

Let $ABC$ be an equilateral triangle, and let $K, L,M$ be points respectively on $BC, CA, AB$ such that $BK/KC = CL/LA = AM/MB =\lambda $. Find all values of $\lambda$ such that the circle with $BC$ as a diameter completely covers the triangle bounded by the lines $AK,BL,CM$.

The square $ABCD$ is inscribed in a circle. Points $E$ and $F$ are located on the side of the square, and points $G$ and $H$ are located on the smaller arc $AB$ of the circle so that the $EFGH$ is a square. Find the area ratio of these squares.

Given a circle with four circles that intersect in pairs as shown in the figure. The "internal" the points of intersection are $A, B, C$ and $D$, while the ‘outer’ points of intersection are $E, F, G$ and $H$. Prove that the quadrilateral $ABCD$ is cyclic if also the quadrilateral $EFGH$ is also cyclic.

Let $ABCD$ be a convex quadrilateral. Prove that the circles inscribed in the triangles $ABC$, $BCD$, $CDA$ and $DAB$ have a common point if and only if $ABCD$ is a rhombus.

Given two circles with one of the centers of the circle is on the other circle. The two circles intersect at two points $C$ and $D$. The line through $D$ intersects the two circles again at $A$ and $ B$. Let $H$ be the midpoint of the arc $AC$ that does not contain $D$ and the segment $HD$ intersects circle that does not contain $H$ at point $E$. Show that $E$ is the center of the incircle of the triangle $ACD$.

Two not necessarily equal non-intersecting wooden disks, one gray and one black, are glued to a plane. An infinite angle with one gray side and one black side can be moved along the plane so that the disks remain outside the angle, while the colored sides of the angle are tangent to the disks of the same color (the tangency points are not the vertices). Prove that it is possible to draw a ray in the angle, starting from the vertex of the angle and such that no matter how the angle is positioned, the ray passes through some fixed point of the plane.

Four distinct circles $C,C_1, C_2$, C3 and a line L are given in the plane such that $C$ and $L$ are disjoint and each of the circles $C_1, C_2, C_3$ touches the other two, as well as $C$ and $L$. Assuming the radius of $C$ to be $1$, determine the distance between its center and $L.$

An even number of circles are nested, starting with a radius of $1$ and increasing by $1$ each time, all sharing a common point. The region between every other circle is shaded, starting with the region inside the circle of radius $2$ but outside the circle of radius $1.$ An example showing $8$ circles is displayed below. What is the least number of circles needed to make the total shaded area at least $2023\pi$?

Circles $k_1$ and $k_2$ intersect in points $A$ and $B$, such that $k_1$ passes through the center $O$ of the circle $k_2$. The line $p$ intersects $k_1$ in points $K$ and $O$ and $k_2$ in points $L$ and $M$, such that the point $L$ is between $K$ and $O$. The point $P$ is orthogonal projection of the point $L$ to the line $AB$. Prove that the line $KP$ is parallel to the $M-$median of the triangle $ABM$. [i]Matko Ljulj[/i]

Let $A,B,C$ be different points on a circle such that $AB = AC$. Point $E$ lies on the segment $BC$, and $D \ne A$ is the intersection point of the circle and line $AE$. Show that the product $AE \cdot AD$ is independent of the choice of $E$.

Let $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ be two circles , with respective centres $O_1$ and $O_2$ , that intersect each other in $A$ and $B$. The line $O_1A$ intersects $\omega_2$ in $A$ and $C$ and the line $O_2A$ inetersects $\omega_1$ in $A$ and $D$. The line through $B$ parallel to $AD$ intersects $\omega_1$ in $B$ and $E$. Suppose that $O_1A$ is parallel to $DE$. Show that $CD$ is perpendicular to $O_2C$.
