### National BDMO Secondary P8

$\triangle ABC$ is inscribed in circle $\omega$ with $AB = 5$, $BC = 7$, $AC = 3$. The bisector of $\angle A$ meets side $BC$ at $D$ and circle $\omega$ at a second point $E$. Let $\gamma$ be the circle with diameter $DE$. Circles $\omega$ and $\gamma$ meet at $E$ and at a second point $F$. Then $AF^{2} = \frac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n$.
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we create them.

In the cyclic $BCFE$ quadrileteral,we get $/angleBFC=120$.$/angleDFE=90$ so,$/angleCFD=30$.Now $FD$ bisects $/angleBFC$
then

[it is a well known geometry problem from AIME 2012.So,sad that it is th 8th problem in 2012 national problem.

Actually 2016 National Olympiad is a showcase of well known problems.Some other problems were also very well known.But,this problem was really different and tough one(for whom who didn't see it before the exam).
