We say that a triangle $ABC$ is great if the following holds: for any point $D$ on the side $BC$, if $P$ and $Q$ are the feet of the perpendiculars from $D$ to the lines $AB$ and $AC$, respectively, then the reflection of $D$ in the line $PQ$ lies on the circumcircle of the triangle $ABC$. Prove that triangle $ABC$ is great if and only if $\angle A = 90^{\circ}$ and $AB = AC$. [i]Senior Problems Committee of the Australian Mathematical Olympiad Committee[/i]

A function $f: R \to R$ satisfies $f (x + 1) = f (x) + 1$ for all $x$. Given $a \in R$, define the sequence $(x_n)$ recursively by $x_0 = a$ and $x_{n+1} = f (x_n)$ for $n \ge 0$.
