We are given a circle $c(O,R)$ and two points $A,B$ so that $R<AB<2R$.The circle $c_1 (A,r)$ ($0<r<R$) crosses the circle $c$ at C,D ($C$ belongs to the short arc $AB$).From $B$ we consider the tangent lines $BE,BF$ to the circle $c_1$ ,in such way that $E$ lays out of the circle $c$.If $M\equiv EC\cap DF$ show that the quadrilateral $BCFM$ is cyclic.

The diagonals of the cyclic quadrilateral $ABCD$ intersect at the point $E$. Let $P$ and $Q$ are the centers of the circles circumscribed around the triangles $BCE$ and $DCE$, respectively. A straight line passing through the point $P$ parallel to $AB$, and a straight line passing through the point $Q$ parallel to $AD$, intersect at the point $R$. Prove that the point $R$ lies on segment $AC$.

$ \Delta ABC$ is a triangle such that $ AB \neq AC$. The incircle of $ \Delta ABC$ touches $ BC, CA, AB$ at $ D, E, F$ respectively. $ H$ is a point on the segment $ EF$ such that $ DH \bot EF$. Suppose $ AH \bot BC$, prove that $ H$ is the orthocentre of $ \Delta ABC$. Remark: the original question has missed the condition $ AB \neq AC$

The angles of a convex quadrilateral form an arithmetic sequence in clockwise order, and its side lengths also form an arithmetic sequence (but not necessarily in clockwise order). If the quadrilateral is not a square, and its shortest side has length $1$, then its perimeter is $a + \sqrt{b}4$, where $ a$ and $b$ are positive integers. What is the value of $a + b$?

Professor Oak is feeding his $100$ Pokémon. Each Pokémon has a bowl whose capacity is a positive real number of kilograms. These capacities are known to Professor Oak. The total capacity of all the bowls is $100$ kilograms. Professor Oak distributes $100$ kilograms of food in such a way that each Pokémon receives a non-negative integer number of kilograms of food (which may be larger than the capacity of the bowl). The [i]dissatisfaction level[/i] of a Pokémon who received $N$ kilograms of food and whose bowl has a capacity of $C$ kilograms is equal to $\lvert N-C\rvert$. Find the smallest real number $D$ such that, regardless of the capacities of the bowls, Professor Oak can distribute food in a way that the sum of the dissatisfaction levels over all the $100$ Pokémon is at most $D$.

In a triangle $ABC$ with $AB=AC$, $\omega$ is the circumcircle and $O$ its center. Let $D$ be a point on the extension of $BA$ beyond $A$. The circumcircle $\omega_{1}$ of triangle $OAD$ intersects the line $AC$ and the circle $\omega$ again at points $E$ and $G$, respectively. Point $H$ is such that $DAEH$ is a parallelogram. Line $EH$ meets circle $\omega_{1}$ again at point $J$. The line through $G$ perpendicular to $GB$ meets $\omega_{1}$ again at point $N$ and the line through $G$ perpendicular to $GJ$ meets $\omega$ again at point $L$. Prove that the points $L, N, H, G$ lie on a circle.
