Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle. Let $H$ denote its orthocenter and $D, E$ and $F$ the feet of its altitudes from $A, B$ and $C$, respectively. Let the common point of $DF$ and the altitude through $B$ be $P$. The line perpendicular to $BC$ through $P$ intersects $AB$ in $Q$. Furthermore, $EQ$ intersects the altitude through $A$ in $N$. Prove that $N$ is the midpoint of $AH$. Proposed by Karl Czakler

Let $S$ be a convex quadrilateral $ABCD$ and $O$ a point inside it. The feet of the perpendiculars from $O$ to $AB, BC, CD, DA$ are $A_1, B_1, C_1, D_1$ respectively. The feet of the perpendiculars from $O$ to the sides of $S_i$, the quadrilateral $A_iB_iC_iD_i$, are $A_{i+1}B_{i+1}C_{i+1}D_{i+1}$, where $i = 1, 2, 3.$ Prove that $S_4$ is similar to S.

Two non intersecting circles with centers $O_1$ and $O_2$ are tangent to line $s$ at points $A_1$ and $A_2$, respectively, and lying on the same side of this line. Line $O_1O_2$ intersects the first circle at $B_1$ and the second at $B_2$. Prove that the lines $A_1B_1$ and $A_2B_2$ are perpendicular to each other.

Let $I$ be the center of the circle inscribed in triangle $ABC$ which has $\angle A = 60^o$ and the inscribed circle is tangent to the sideBC at point $D$. Choose points X andYon segments $BI$ and $CI$ respectively, such than $DX \perp AB$ and $DY \perp AC$. Choose a point $Z$ such that the triangle $XYZ$ is equilateral and $Z$ and $I$ belong to the same half plane relative to the line $XY$. Prove that $AZ \perp BC$. (Matthew Kurskyi)

Through the midpoints of the sides of the triangle $T$, straight lines are drawn perpendicular to the bisectors of the opposite angles of the triangle. These lines formed a triangle $T_1$. Prove that the center of the circle circumscribed about $T_1$ is in the midpoint of the segment formed by the center of the inscribed circle and the intersection point of the heights of triangle $T$.

A circle of diameter $AB$ is given. There are points $C$ and $ D$ on this circle, on different sides of the diameter such that holds $AC <BC$ or $AC<AD$. The point $P$ lies on the segment $BC$ and $\angle CAP = \angle ABC$. The perpendicular from the point $C$ to the line $AB$ intersects the direction $BD$ at the point $Q$. Lines $PQ$ and $AD$ intersect at point $R$, and the lines $PQ$ and $CD$ intersect at point $T$. If $AR=RQ$, prove that the lines $AT$ and $PQ$ are perpendicular.
