Natural number $n>1$ is given. Let $I$ be a set of integers that are relatively prime to $n$. Define the function $f:I=>N$. We call a function $k-periodic$ if for any $a,b$ , $f(a)=f(b)$ whenever $ k|a-b $. We know that $f$ is $n-periodic$. Prove that minimal period of $f$ divides all other periods. Example: if $n=6$ and $f(1)=f(5)$ then minimal period is 1, if $f(1)$ is not equal to $f(5)$ then minimal period is 3.

Let $\Omega$ and $O$ be the circumcircle and the circumcentre of an acute-angled triangle $ABC$ with $AB > BC$. The angle bisector of $\angle ABC$ intersects $\Omega$ at $M \ne B$. Let $\Gamma$ be the circle with diameter $BM$. The angle bisectors of $\angle AOB$ and $\angle BOC$ intersect $\Gamma$ at points $P$ and $Q,$ respectively. The point $R$ is chosen on the line $P Q$ so that $BR = MR$. Prove that $BR\parallel AC$. (Here we always assume that an angle bisector is a ray.) [i]Proposed by Sergey Berlov, Russia[/i]
