Assume every side length of a triangle $ABC$ is more than $2$ and two of its angles are given by $\angle ABC = 57^\circ$ and $ACB = 63^\circ$. Point $P$ is chosen on side $BC$ with $BP:PC = 2:1$. Points $M,N$ are chosen on sides $AB$ and $AC$, respectively so that $BM = 2$ and $CN = 1$. Let $Q$ be the point on segment $MN$ for which $MQ:QN = 2:1$. Find the value of $PQ$. Your answer must be in simplest form.

In an acute-angled triangle $ABC$, we consider the feet $H_a$ and $H_b$ of the altitudes from $A$ and $B$, and the intersections $W_a$ and $W_b$ of the angle bisectors from $A$ and $B$ with the opposite sides $BC$ and $CA$ respectively. Show that the centre of the incircle $I$ of triangle $ABC$ lies on the segment $H_aH_b$ if and only if the centre of the circumcircle $O$ of triangle $ABC$ lies on the segment $W_aW_b$.

In the plane, there are two circles $\Gamma_1, \Gamma_2$ intersecting each other at two points $A$ and $B$. Tangents of $\Gamma_1$ at $A$ and $B$ meet each other at $K$. Let us consider an arbitrary point $M$ (which is different of $A$ and $B$) on $\Gamma_1$. The line $MA$ meets $\Gamma_2$ again at $P$. The line $MK$ meets $\Gamma_1$ again at $C$. The line $CA$ meets $\Gamma_2 $ again at $Q$. Show that the midpoint of $PQ$ lies on the line $MC$ and the line $PQ$ passes through a fixed point when $M$ moves on $\Gamma_1$.

Mr. J left his entire estate to his wife, his daughter, his son, and the cook. His daughter and son got half the estate, sharing in the ratio of $ 4$ to $ 3$. His wife got twice as much as the son. If the cook received a bequest of $ \$500$, then the entire estate was:
$ \textbf{(A)}\ \$3500 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ \$5500 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ \$6500 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ \$7000 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \$7500$

In cyclic quadrilateral $ABXC$, $\measuredangle XAB = \measuredangle XAC$. Denote by $I$ the incenter of $\triangle ABC$ and by $D$ the projection of $I$ on $\overline{BC}$. If $AI = 25$, $ID = 7$, and $BC = 14$, then $XI$ can be expressed as $\frac{a}{b}$ for relatively prime positive integers $a, b$. Compute $100a + b$.
