Let OO and PP be fixed points on a plane, and let ABCDABCD be any parallelogram with center OO. Let MM and NN be the midpoints of APAP and BPBP respectively. Lines MCMC and NDND meet at QQ. Prove that the point QQ lies on the lines OPOP, and show that it is independent of the choice of the parallelogram ABCDABCD.

On the unit circle kk with center OO, points AA and BB with AB=1AB=1 are chosen and unit circles k1k_1 and k2k_2 with centers AA and BB are drawn. A sequence of circles (ln)(l_n) is defined as follows: circle l1l_1 is tangent to kk internally at D1D_1 and to k1,k2k_1,k_2 externally, and for n>1n>1 circle lnl_n is tangent to k1k_1 and k2k_2 and to ln1l_{n-1} at DnD_n. For each nn, compute dn=ODnd_n=OD_n and the radius rnr_n of lnl_n.
