  • Day 1

Let ABCABC be an acute-angled triangle, and let PP and QQ be two points on its side BCBC . Construct a point C1C_{1} in such a way that the convex quadrilateral APBC1APBC_{1} is cyclic, QC1∥CAQC_{1}\parallel CA , and C1C_{1} and QQ lie on opposite sides of line ABAB . Construct a point B1B_{1} in such a way that the convex quadrilateral APCB1APCB_{1} is cyclic, QB1∥BAQB_{1}\parallel BA , and B1B_{1} and QQ lie on opposite sides of line ACAC . Prove that the points B1B_{1} , C1C_{1} , PP , and QQ lie on a circle.
