A maths teacher draws a number of circles on a piece of paper. When she shows this piece of paper to the young mathematician, he claims he can see only five circles. The maths teacher agrees. But when she shows the same piece of paper to another young mathematician, he says that there are exactly eight circles. The teacher confirms that this answer is also correct. How is that possible and how many circles did she originally draw on that piece of paper?

A circle is divided up by the points A,B,C,D so that AB:BC:CD:DA=2:3:5:6. The chords AC and BD intersect at point M. Find the angle AMB.

A circle is divided up by the points A, B, C, D so that AB:BC:CD:DA=3:2:13:7. The chords AD and BC are continued until their intersection at point M. Find the angle AMB.

The bisector of the outer corner at the vertex C of the triangle ABC intersects the circumscribed circle at the point D. Prove that AD=BD.

The vertex A of the acute-angled triangle ABC is connected by a segment with the center O of the circumscribed circle. The height AH is drawn from the vertex A. Prove that BAH=OAC.

The vertex A of the acute-angled triangle ABC is connected by a segment with the center O of the circumscribed circle. The height AH is drawn from the vertex A. Prove that BAH=OAC.

From an arbitrary point M lying within a given angle with vertex A, the perpendiculars MP and MQ are dropped to the sides of the angle. From point A, the perpendicular AK is dropped to the segment PQ. Prove that PAK=MAQ.

On a circle, the points A,B,C,D are given in the indicated order. M is the midpoint of the arc AB. We denote the intersection points of the chords MC and MD with the chord AB by E and K. Prove that KECD is an inscribed quadrilateral.
