Let $ABCD$ be a tangential quadrilateral. Let $AB$ meet $CD$ at $E, AD$ intersect $BC$ at $F$. Two arbitrary lines through $E$ meet $AD,BC$ at $M,N, P,Q$ respectively ($M,N \in AD$, $P,Q \in BC$). Another arbitrary pair of lines through $F$ intersect $AB,CD$ at $X, Y,Z, T$ respectively ($X, Y \in AB$,$Z, T \in CD$). Suppose that $d_1, d_2$ are the second tangents from $E$ to the incircles of triangles $FXY, FZT,d_3, d_4$ are the second tangents from $F$ to the incircles of triangles $EMN,EPQ$. Prove that the four lines $d_1, d_2, d_3, d_4$ meet each other at four points and these intersections make a tangential quadrilateral. Nguyễn Văn Linh

We have two concentric circles. A polygon is circumscribed around the smaller circle and is contained entirely inside the greater circle. Perpendiculars from the common center of the circles to the sides of the polygon are extended till they intersect the greater circle. Each of the points obtained is connected with the endpoints of the corresponding side of the polygon . When is the resulting star-shaped polygon the unfolding of a pyramid?

Given a rectangle $A_1A_2A_3A_4$. Four circles with $A_i$ as their centres have their radiuses $r_1, r_2, r_3, r_4$; and $r_1+r_3=r_2+r_4<d$, where d is a diagonal of the rectangle.

Nine numbers are arranged in a square table: $a_1 \,\,\, a_2 \,\,\,a_3$ $b_1 \,\,\,b_2 \,\,\,b_3$ $c_1\,\,\, c_2 \,\,\,c_3$ . It is known that the six numbers obtained by summing the rows and columns of the table are equal: $a_1 + a_2 + a_3 = b_1 + b_2 + b_3 = c_1 + c_2 + c_3 = a_1 + b_1 + c_1 = a_2 + b_2 + c_2 = a_3 + b_3 + c_3$ . Prove that the sum of products of numbers in the rows is equal to the sum of products of numbers in the columns: $a_1 b_1 c_1 + a_2 b_2c_2 + a_3b_3c_3 = a_1a_2a_3 + b_1 b_2 b_3 + c_1 c_2c_3$ .

Given three circles $c_1,c_2,c_3$ with $r_1,r_2,r_3$ radiuses, $r_1 > r_2, r_1 > r_3$. Each lies outside of two others. The A point -- an intersection of the outer common tangents to $c_1$ and $c_2$ -- is outside $c_3$. The $B$ point -- an intersection of the outer common tangents to $c_1$ and $c_3$ -- is outside $c_2$. Two pairs of tangents -- from $A$ to $c_3$ and from $B$ to $c_2$ -- are drawn. Prove that the quadrangle, they make, is circumscribed around some circle and find its radius.

a) The triangle $ABC$ was turned around the centre of the circumscribed circle by the angle less than $180$ degrees and thus was obtained the triangle $A_1B_1C_1$. The corresponding segments $[AB]$ and $[A_1B_1]$ intersect in the point $C_2, [BC]$ and $[B_1C_1]$ -- $A_2, [AC]$ and $[A_1C_1]$ -- $B_2$. Prove that the triangle $A_2B_2C_2$ is similar to the triangle $ABC$. b) The quadrangle $ABCD$ was turned around the centre of the circumscribed circle by the angle less than $180$ degrees and thus was obtained the quadrangle $A_1B_1C_1D_1$.

Segment $AB$ intersects two equal circles, is parallel to the line joining their centres, and all the points of intersection of the segment and the circles lie between $A$ and $B$. From the point $A$ tangents to the circle nearest to $A$ are drawn, and from the point $B$ tangents to the circle nearest to $B$ are also drawn.

$ABCD$ is a quadrilateral having both an inscribed circle (one tangent to all four sides) with center $I,$ and a circumscribed circle with center $O$. Let $S$ be the point of intersection of the diagonals of $ABCD$. Show that if any two of $S, I$ and $O$ coincide, then $ABCD$ is a square (and hence all three coincide).
