CONO-SUR 1994 Problem 2

    Consider a circle CC with diameter AB=1AB=1 . A point P0P_0 is chosen on CC , P0≠AP_0 \ne A , and starting in P0P_0 a sequence of points P1,P2,…,Pn,…P_1, P_2, \dots, P_n, \dots is constructed on CC , in the following way: QnQ_n is the symmetrical point of AA with respect of PnP_n and the straight line that joins BB and QnQ_n cuts CC at BB and Pn+1P_{n+1} (not necessary different). Prove that it is possible to choose P0P_0 such that:

    i ∠P0AB<1\angle {P_0AB} < 1 .

    ii In the sequence that starts with P0P_0 there are 22 points, PkP_k and PjP_j , such that △APkPj\triangle {AP_kP_j} is equilateral.
