In the figure, the chord $[CD]$ is perpendicular to the diameter $[AB]$ and intersects it at $H$. Length of $AB$ is a two-digit natural number. Changing the order of these two digits gives length of $CD$. Knowing that distance from $H$ to the center $O$ is a positive rational number, calculate $AB$.

A circle cuts each side of a rhombus twice thus dividing each side into three segments. Let us go around the perimeter of the rhombus clockwise beginning at a vertex and paint these segments successively in red, white and blue. Prove that the sum of lengths of the blue segments equals that of the red ones.

On the circle with diameter $AB$, the point $M$ was selected and fixed. Then the point ${{Q} _ {i}}$ is selected, for which the chord $M {{Q} _ {i}}$ intersects $AB$ at the point ${{K} _ {i}}$ and thus $ \angle M {{K} _ {i}} B <90 {} ^ \circ$. A chord that is perpendicular to $AB$ and passes through the point ${{K} _ {i}}$ intersects the line $B {{Q} _ {i}}$ at the point ${{P } _ {i}}$. Prove that the points ${{P} _ {i}}$ in all possible choices of the point ${{Q} _ {i}}$ lie on the same line.
