Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $\angle B > \angle C$. Let $P$ and $Q$ be two different points on line $AC$ such that $\angle PBA = \angle QBA = \angle ACB $ and $A$ is located between $P$ and $C$. Suppose that there exists an interior point $D$ of segment $BQ$ for which $PD=PB$. Let the ray $AD$ intersect the circle $ABC$ at $R \neq A$. Prove that $QB = QR$.

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $AB=5$, $AC=12$ and incenter $I$. Let $P$ be the intersection of $AI$ and $BC$. Define $\omega_B$ and $\omega_C$ to be the circumcircles of $ABP$ and $ACP$, respectively, with centers $O_B$ and $O_C$. If the reflection of $BC$ over $AI$ intersects $\omega_B$ and $\omega_C$ at $X$ and $Y$, respectively, then $\frac{O_BO_C}{XY}=\frac{PI}{IA}$. Compute $BC$.

Given positive integers $k$ and $m$, show that $m$ and $\binom{n}{k}$ are coprime for infinitely many integers $n\geq k$.
In triangle $ABC$, $I$ is the centre of the incircle. There is a circle tangent
to $AI$ at $I$ which passes through $B$. This circle intersects $AB$ once more
in $P$ and intersects $BC$ once more in $Q$. The line $QI$ intersects $AC$ in $R$.
Prove that $|AR|\cdot |BQ|=|P I|^2$

There are $2022$ equally spaced points on a circular track $\gamma$ of circumference $2022$. The points are labeled $A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_{2022}$ in some order, each label used once. Initially, Bunbun the Bunny begins at $A_1$. She hops along $\gamma$ from $A_1$ to $A_2$, then from $A_2$ to $A_3$, until she reaches $A_{2022}$, after which she hops back to $A_1$. When hopping from $P$ to $Q$, she always hops along the shorter of the two arcs $\widehat{PQ}$ of $\gamma$; if $\overline{PQ}$ is a diameter of $\gamma$, she moves along either semicircle.
Determine the maximal possible sum of the lengths of the $2022$ arcs which Bunbun traveled, over all possible labellings of the $2022$ points.
