Let $C_1$ and $C_2$ be two concentric circles with $C_1$ inside $C_2$. Let $P_1$ and $P_2$ be two points on $C_1$ that are not diametrically opposite. Extend the segment $P_1P_2$ past $P_2$ until it meets the circle $C_2$ in $Q_2$. The tangent to $C_2$ at $Q_2$ and the tangent to $C_1$ at $P_1$ meet in a point $X$. Draw from X the second tangent to $C_2$ which meets $C_2$ at the point $Q_1$. Show that $P_1X$ bisects angle $Q_1P_1Q_2$.

Let $ABC$ be a scalene triangle with incenter $I$ and let $AI$ meet the circumcircle of triangle $ABC$ again at $M$. The incircle $\omega$ of triangle $ABC$ is tangent to sides $AB, AC$ at $D, E$, respectively. Let $O$ be the circumcenter of triangle $BDE$ and let $L$ be the intersection of $\omega$ and the altitude from $A$ to $BC$ so that $A$ and $L$ lie on the same side with respect to $DE$. Denote by $\Omega$ a circle centered at $O$ and passing through $L$, and let $AL$ meet $\Omega$ again at $N$. Prove that the lines $LD$ and $MB$ meet on the circumcircle of triangle $LNE$.

Two concentric circles of radii $1$ and $2$ have centere the point $O$. The vertex $A$ of the equilateral triangle $ABC$ lies at the largest circle, while the midpoint of side $BC$ lies on the smaller circle. If$ B$,$O$ and $C$ are not collinear, what measure can the angle $\angle BOC$ have?

Let $C$ and $C'$ be two concentric circles of radii $r$ and $r'$ respectively. Determine how much the quotient $r'/r$ must be worth so that in the limited crown (annulus) through $C$ and $C'$ there are eight circles $C_i$ , $i = 1, . . . , 8$, which are tangent to $C$ and to $C'$ , and also that $C_i$ is tangent to $C_{i+1}$ for $i = 1, . . . ,7$ and $C_8$ tangent to $C_1$ .

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with circumcircle $k$. The points $A_1, B_1,$ and $C_1$ on $k$ are the midpoints of arcs $\widehat{BC}$ (not containing $A$), $\widehat{AC}$ (not containing $B$), and $\widehat{AB}$ (not containing $C$), respectively. The pairwise distinct points $A_2, B_2,$ and $C_2$ are chosen such that the quadrilaterals $AB_1A_2C_1, BA_1B_2C_1,$ and $CA_1C_2B_1$ are parallelograms. Prove that $k$ and the circumcircle of triangle $A_2B_2C_2$ have a common center. [b]Comment.[/b] Point $A_2$ can also be defined as the reflection of $A$ with respect to the midpoint of $B_1C_1$, and analogous definitions can be used for $B_2$ and $C_2$.
