Ali wants to move from point $A$ to point $B$. He cannot walk inside the black areas but he is free to move in any direction inside the white areas (not only the grid lines but the whole plane). Help Ali to find the shortest path between $A$ and $B$. Only draw the path and write its length. by Morteza Saghafian

Let $\omega$ be the circumcircle of triangle $ABC$ with $AC > AB$. Let $X$ be a point on $AC$ and $Y$ be a point on the circle $\omega$, such that $CX = CY = AB$.

In a right-angled triangle $ABC$ ($\angle A = 90^o$), the perpendicular bisector of $BC$ intersects the line $AC$ in $K$ and the perpendicular bisector of $BK$ intersects the line $AB$ in $L$. If the line $CL$ be the internal bisector of angle $C$, find all possible values for angles $B$ and $C$. by Mahdi Etesami Fard
