A point is chosen inside a regular $k$-gon in such a way that its orthogonal projections on to the sides all meet the respective sides at interior points. These points divide the sides into $2k$ segments. Let these segments be enumerated consecutively by the numbers $1,2, 3, ... ,2k$. Prove that the sum of the lengths of the segments having even numbers equals the sum of the segments having odd numbers. (A Andjans, Riga)

Let $[ABC]$ be a triangle, $D$ be the orthogonal projection of $B$ on the bisector of $\angle ACB$ and $E$ the orthogonal projection of $C$ on the bisector of $\angle ABC$ . Prove that $DE$ intersects the sides $[AB]$ and $[AC]$ at the touchpoints of the circle inscribed in the triangle $[ABC]$.

Projections of two points to the sidelines of a quadrilateral lie on two concentric circles (projections of each point form a cyclic quadrilateral and the radii of circles are different). Prove that this quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
