A point $P$ lies on the internal angle bisector of $\angle BAC$ of a triangle $\triangle ABC$. Point $D$ is the midpoint of $BC$ and $PD$ meets the external angle bisector of $\angle BAC$ at point $E$.

Let $ABC$ be a nondegenerate acute triangle with circumcircle $\omega$ and let its incircle $\gamma$ touch $AB, AC, BC$ at $X, Y, Z$ respectively. Let $XY$ hit arcs $AB, AC$ of $\omega$ at $M, N$ respectively, and let $P \neq X, Q \neq Y$ be the points on $\gamma$ such that $MP=MX, NQ=NY$. If $I$ is the center of $\gamma$, prove that $P, I, Q$ are collinear if and only if $\angle BAC=90^\circ$. [i]Proposed by David Stoner[/i]

The circle $\omega_1$ with diameter $[AB]$ and the circle $\omega_2$ with center $A$ intersects at points $C$ and $D$. Let $E$ be a point on the circle $\omega_2$, which is outside $\omega_1$ and at the same side as $C$ with respect to the line $AB$. Let the second point of intersection of the line $BE$ with $\omega_2$ be $F$. For a point $K$ on the circle $\omega_1$ which is on the same side as $A$ with respect to the diameter of $\omega_1$ passing through $C$ we have $2\cdot CK \cdot AC = CE \cdot AB$. Let the second point of intersection of the line $KF$ with $\omega_1$ be $L$. Show that the symmetric of the point $D$ with respect to the line $BE$ is on the circumcircle of the triangle $LFC$.

Let $ m,n$ be two natural nonzero numbers and sets $ A \equal{} \{ 1,2,...,n\}, B \equal{} \{1,2,...,m\}$. We say that subset $ S$ of Cartesian product $ A \times B$ has property $ (j)$ if $ (a \minus{} x)(b \minus{} y)\le 0$ for each pairs $ (a,b),(x,y) \in S$. Prove that every set $ S$ with propery $ (j)$ has at most $ m \plus{} n \minus{} 1$ elements. [color=#FF0000]The statement was edited, in order to reflect the actual problem asked. The sign of the inequality was inadvertently reversed into $ (a \minus{} x)(b \minus{} y)\ge 0$, and that accounts for the following two posts.[/color]
