Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $b\neq c$. Points $D$ is the midpoint of $BC$ and let $E$ be the foot of angle $A$ bisector. In the exterior of the triangle we construct the similar triangles $AMB$ and $ANC$ . Prove: a) $MN\bot AD \Longleftrightarrow MA \bot AB$ b) $MN\bot AE \Longleftrightarrow M,A,N$ are colinear.

Farmer Tim is lost in the densely-forested Cartesian plane. Starting from the origin he walks a sinusoidal path in search of home; that is, after $t$ minutes he is at position $(t,\sin t)$. Five minutes after he sets out, Alex enters the forest at the origin and sets out in search of Tim. He walks in such a way that after he has been in the forest for $m$ minutes, his position is $(m,\cos t)$. What is the greatest distance between Alex and Farmer Tim while they are walking in these paths?

Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle with circumcenter $O$ and circumradius $R$. $AO$ meets the circumcircle of $BOC$ at $A'$, $BO$ meets the circumcircle of $COA$ at $B'$ and $CO$ meets the circumcircle of $AOB$ at $C'$. Prove that \[OA'\cdot OB'\cdot OC'\geq 8R^{3}.\] Sorry if this has been posted before since this is a very classical problem, but I failed to find it with the search-function.
