Discussion on International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO)

### IMO 2015 - Problem 4

Triangle $ABC$ has circumcircle $\Omega$ and circumcenter $O$. A circle $\Gamma$ with center $A$ intersects the segment $BC$ at points $D$ and $E$, such that $B$, $D$, $E$, and $C$ are all different and lie on line $BC$ in this order. Let $F$ and $G$ be the points of intersection of $\Gamma$ and $\Omega$, such that $A$, $F$, $B$, $C$, and $G$ lie on $\Omega$ in this order. Let $K$ be the second point of intersection of the circumcircle of triangle $BDF$ and the segment $AB$. Let $L$ be the second point of intersection of the circumcircle of triangle $CGE$ and the segment $CA$.

Suppose that the lines $FK$ and $GL$ are different and intersect at the point $X$. Prove that $X$ lies on the line $AO$.

Proposed by Greece.
- What is the value of the contour integral around Western Europe?

- Zero.

- Why?

- Because all the poles are in Eastern Europe.

Revive the IMO marathon.

### Re: IMO 2015 - Problem 4

$\text{My Solution}$:
Because $GA=FA$ and $GO=FO$, it is enough to show that $XG=XF$.
Let $FG\cap \odot BFD=T,FG\cap \odot CEG=S$ then $AG=AF \Longrightarrow \measuredangle GCA=\measuredangle ABF\Longrightarrow \measuredangle KBF=\measuredangle GCL=\measuredangle GEL................(1)$
Note that $\measuredangle TBD=\measuredangle DFT=\measuredangle GEC\Longrightarrow GE\parallel BT........(2)$.
Also $\measuredangle SEC=\pi-\angle FGC=\measuredangle FBC\Longrightarrow SE\parallel FB..........(3)$.
From $(2)$ and $(3)$,$\measuredangle TBF=\measuredangle GES..................(4)$.
From $(1)$ and $(4)$,we get $\measuredangle KBT=\measuredangle LCS\Longrightarrow \measuredangle SGL=\measuredangle TFK\Longrightarrow XG=XF$.
I like girls and mathematics; both are beautiful.
