Given a convex, $n$-sided polygon $P$, form a $2n$-sided polygon $\text{clip}(P)$ by cutting off each corner of $P$ at the edges' trisection points. In other words, $\text{clip}(P)$ is the polygon whose vertices are the $2n$ edge trisection points of $P$, connected in order around the boundary of $P$. Let $P_1$ be an isosceles trapezoid with side lengths $13,13,13,$ and $3$, and for each $i\geq 2$, let $P_i=\text{clip}(P_{i-1}).$ This iterative clipping process approaches a limiting shape $P_\infty=\lim_{i\to\infty}P_i$. If the difference of the areas of $P_{10}$ and $P_\infty$ is written as a fraction $\tfrac xy$ in lowest terms, calculate the number of positive integer factors of $x\cdot y$.

Let $(O)$ be a fixed circle with the radius $R$. Let $A$ and $B$ be fixed points in $(O)$ such that $A,B,O$ are not collinear. Consider a variable point $C$ lying on $(O)$ ($C\neq A,B$). Construct two circles $(O_1),(O_2)$ passing through $A,B$ and tangent to $BC,AC$ at $C$, respectively. The circle $(O_1)$ intersects the circle $(O_2)$ in $D$ ($D\neq C$). Prove that:
a) \[ CD\leq R \]
b) The line $CD$ passes through a point independent of $C$ (i.e. there exists a fixed point on the line $CD$ when $C$ lies on $(O)$).
Two circles $O_1$ and $O_2$ intersect each other at $M$ and $N$. The common tangent to two circles nearer to $M$ touch $O_1$ and $O_2$ at $A$ and $B$ respectively. Let $C$ and $D$ be the reflection of $A$ and $B$ respectively with respect to $M$. The circumcircle of the triangle $DCM$ intersect circles $O_1$ and $O_2$ respectively at points $E$ and $F$ (both distinct from $M$). Show that the circumcircles of triangles $MEF$ and $NEF$ have same radius length.
