An isosceles triangle with $AB=AC$ has an inscribed circle $O$, which touches its sides $BC,CA,AB$ at $K,L,M$ respectively. The lines $OL$ and $KM$ intersect at $N$; the lines $BN$ and $CA$ intersect at $Q$. Let $P$ be the foot of the perpendicular from $A$ on $BQ$. Suppose that $BP=AP+2\cdot PQ$. Then, what values can the ratio $\frac{AB}{BC}$ assume?

$A_0A_1\ldots A_n$ is a regular polygon with $n+1$ vertices ($n&gt;2$). Initially $n$ stones are placed at vertex $A_0$. In each allowed operation, $2$ stones are moved simultaneously, at the player's choice: each stone is moved from the vertex where it is located to one of the adjacent $2$ vertices. Find all the values of $n$ for which it is possible to have, after a succession of permitted operations, a stone at each of the vertices $A_1,A_2,\ldots ,A_n$. Clarification: The two stones that move in an allowed operation can be at the same vertex or at different vertices.
