Constant points $B$ and $C$ lie on the circle $\omega$. The point middle of $BC$ is named $M$ by us. Assume that $A$ is a variable point on the $\omega$ and $H$ is the orthocenter of the triangle $ABC$. From the point $H$ we drop a perpendicular line to $MH$ to intersect the lines $AB$ and $AC$ at $X$ and $Y$ respectively. Prove that with the movement of $A$ on the $\omega$, the orthocenter of the triangle $AXY$ also moves on a circle.

To [i]clip[/i] a convex $n$-gon means to choose a pair of consecutive sides $AB, BC$ and to replace them by the three segments $AM, MN$, and $NC$, where $M$ is the midpoint of $AB$ and $N$ is the midpoint of $BC$. In other words, one cuts off the triangle $MBN$ to obtain a convex $(n+1)$-gon. A regular hexagon ${\cal P}_6$ of area 1 is clipped to obtain a heptagon ${\cal P}_7$. Then ${\cal P}_7$ is clipped (in one of the seven possible ways) to obtain an octagon ${\cal P}_8$, and so on. Prove that no matter how the clippings are done, the area of ${\cal P}_n$ is greater than $\frac 13$, for all $n \geq 6$.
