Problem Statement
For a given quadrilateral a point is called phenomenal, if line segments and subtend the same angle at point (i.e. triangles and which can be also also degenerate have equal inner angles at point disregarding orientation).Three non-collinear points, and are given in the plane. Prove that it is possible to find a disc in the plane such that for every point on the disc, the quadrilateral is convex and it is possible to construct seven distinct phenomenal points (with respect to ) only using a right ruler.With a right ruler the following two operations are allowed:[*]Given two points it is possible to draw the straight line connecting them;
[*]Given a point and a straight line, it is possible to draw the straight line passing through the given point which is perpendicular to the given line.Proposed by Á. Bán-Szabó, Budapest
