In triangle $ABC$ let the $A$-foot be $E$ and the $B$-excenter be $L$. Suppose the incircle of $ABC$ is tangent to $AC$ at $I$. Construct a hyperbola $\mathcal H$ through $A$ with $B$ and $C$ as the foci such that $A$ lies on the branch of the $\mathcal H$ closer to $C$. Construct an ellipse $\mathcal E$ passing through $I$ with $B$ and $C$ as the foci. Suppose $\mathcal E$ meets $\overline{AB}$ again at point $H$. Let $\overline{CH}$ and $\overline{BI}$ intersect the $C$-branch of $\mathcal H$ at points $M$ and $O$ respectively. Prove $E$, $L$, $M$, $O$ are concyclic. Proposed by [i]Alex Wang[/i]

Point $A,B$ are marked on the right branch of the hyperbola $y=\frac{1}{x},x>0$. The straight line $l$ passing through the origin $O$ is perpendicular to $AB$ and meets $AB$ and given branch of the hyperbola at points $D$ and $C$ respectively. The circle through $A,B,C$ meets $l$ at $F$. Find $OD:CF$

Circles $C(O_1)$ and $C(O_2)$ intersect at points $A$, $B$. $CD$ passing through point $O_1$ intersects $C(O_1)$ at point $D$ and tangents $C(O_2)$ at point $C$. $AC$ tangents $C(O_1)$ at $A$. Draw $AE \bot CD$, and $AE$ intersects $C(O_1)$ at $E$. Draw $AF \bot DE$, and $AF$ intersects $DE$ at $F$. Prove that $BD$ bisects $AF$.

Two branches of the hyperbola $xy=1$ are $C_1,C_2$ ($C_1$ in Quadrant I, $C_2$ in Quadrant III). Three apexes of regular triangle $PQR$ are on the hyperbola. [b](a)[/b] $P,Q,R$ cannot be on the same branch. [b](b)[/b] $P(-1,-1)$ is a point on $C_2$, if $Q,R$ are on $C_1$, find their coordinates.

The points of intersection of $ xy \equal{} 12$ and $ x^2 \plus{} y^2 \equal{} 25$ are joined in succession. The resulting figure is: $ \textbf{(A)}\ \text{a straight line} \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ \text{an equilateral triangle} \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ \text{a parallelogram}$ $ \textbf{(D)}\ \text{a rectangle} \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \text{a square}$
