Let $O$ be the center of the circle circumscribed to $\vartriangle ABC$, and let $ P$ be any point on $BC$ ($P \ne B$ and $P \ne C$). Suppose that the circle circumscribed to $\vartriangle BPO$ intersects $AB$ at $R$ ($R \ne A$ and $R \ne B$) and that the circle circumscribed to $\vartriangle COP$ intersects $CA$ at point $Q$ ($Q \ne C$ and $Q \ne A$). 1) Show that $\vartriangle PQR \sim \vartriangle ABC$ and that$ O$ is orthocenter of $\vartriangle PQR$. 2) Show that the circles circumscribed to the triangles $\vartriangle BPO$, $\vartriangle COP$, and $\vartriangle PQR$ all have the same radius.
