Alice and Bob play the following "point guessing game." First, Alice marks an equilateral triangle ABCA B C and a point DD on segment BCB C satisfying BD=3B D=3 and CD=5C D=5. Then, Alice chooses a point PP on line ADA D and challenges Bob to mark a point Q≠PQ \neq P on line ADA D such that BQQC=BPPC\frac{B Q}{Q C}=\frac{B P}{P C}. Alice wins if and only if Bob is unable to choose such a point. If Alice wins, what are the possible values of BPPC\frac{B P}{P C} for the PP she chose?
