Problem 1

From point PP outside a circle draw two tangents to the circle touching at AA and BB . Draw a secant line intersecting the circle at points CC and DD , with CC between PP and DD . Choose point QQ on the chord CDCD such that ∠DAQ=∠PBC\angle DAQ=\angle PBC . Prove that ∠DBQ=∠PAC\angle DBQ=\angle PAC .

Problem 2

Let the three sides of a triangle be ℓ,m,n\ell, m, n , respectively, satisfying ℓ>m>n\ell>m>n and {3ℓ104}={3m104}={3n104}\left\{\frac{3^\ell}{10^4}\right\}=\left\{\frac{3^m}{10^4}\right\}=\left\{\frac{3^n}{10^4}\right\} , where {x}=x−⌊x⌋\{x\}=x-\lfloor{x}\rfloor and ⌊x⌋\lfloor{x}\rfloor denotes the integral part of the number xx . Find the minimum perimeter of such a triangle.

Problem 3

Let a space figure consist of nn vertices and ll lines connecting these vertices, with n=q2+q+1n=q^2+q+1 , l≥q2(q+1)2+1l\ge q^2(q+1)^2+1 , q≥2q\ge2 , q∈Nq\in\mathbb{N} . Suppose the figure satisfies the following conditions: every four vertices are non-coplaner, every vertex is connected by at least one line, and there is a vertex connected by at least p+2p+2 lines. Prove that there exists a space quadrilateral in the figure, i.e. a quadrilateral with four vertices A,B,C,DA, B, C, D and four lines AB,BC,CD,DAAB, BC, CD, DA in the figure.
