Let $ABC$ be an equiangular triangle with circumcircle $\omega$. Let point $F\in AB$ and point $E\in AC$ so that $\angle ABE+\angle ACF=60^{\circ}$. The circumcircle of triangle $AFE$ intersects the circle $\omega$ in the point $D$. The halflines $DE$ and $DF$ intersect the line through $B$ and $C$ in the points $X$ and $Y$. Prove that the incenter of the triangle $DXY$ is independent of the choice of $E$ and $F$. (The angles in the problem statement are not directed. It is assumed that $E$ and $F$ are chosen in such a way that the halflines $DE$ and $DF$ indeed intersect the line through $B$ and $C$.)

Two circles in a plane intersect. $A$ is one of the points of intersection. Starting simultaneously from $A$ two points move with constant speed, each travelling along its own circle in the same sense. The two points return to $A$ simultaneously after one revolution. Prove that there is a fixed point $P$ in the plane such that the two points are always equidistant from $P.$

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.

$G$ is a set of non-constant functions $f$. Each $f$ is defined on the real line and has the form $f(x)=ax+b$ for some real $a,b$. If $f$ and $g$ are in $G$, then so is $fg$, where $fg$ is defined by $fg(x)=f(g(x))$. If $f$ is in $G$, then so is the inverse $f^{-1}$. If $f(x)=ax+b$, then $f^{-1}(x)= \frac{x-b}{a}$. Every $f$ in $G$ has a fixed point (in other words we can find $x_f$ such that $f(x_f)=x_f$. Prove that all the functions in $G$ have a common fixed point.
