Alice and Bob play the following "point guessing game." First, Alice marks an equilateral triangle $ABC$ and a point $D$ on segment $BC$ satisfying $BD=3$ and $CD=5$. Then, Alice chooses a point $P$ on line $AD$ and challenges Bob to mark a point $Q\neq P$ on line $AD$ such that $\frac{BQ}{QC}=\frac{BP}{PC}$. Alice wins if and only if Bob is unable to choose such a point. If Alice wins, what are the possible values of $\frac{BP}{PC}$ for the $P$ she chose?

We consider two circles $k_1(M_1, r_1)$ and $k_2(M_2, r_2)$ with $z = M_1M_2 > r_1+r_2$ and a common outer tangent with the tangent points $P_1$ and $P2$ (that is, they lie on the same side of the connecting line $M_1M_2$). We now change the radii so that their sum is $r_1+r_2 = c$ remains constant. What set of points does the midpoint of the tangent segment $P_1P_2$ run through, when $r_1$ varies from $0$ to $c$?
