Two half-circles are drawn as shown above, with a line <math>l_0</math> throught the two intersections points, <math>X,Y</math> of the half-circles. Lines <math>l_k</math> for <math>k=-n\to n</math> parallel to the bases of the half-circles are drawn such that the distances between <math>l_k</math> and <math>l_0</math> and <math>l_{-k}</math> and <math>l_0</math> are always the same for all <math>k=1\to n</math>.
 +
 +
The intersection points of <math>l_k</math> with one of the half-circles are labeled <math>A_k, B_k</math>, and with the other half-circle at <math>C_k,D_k</math>, as shown in the diagram.

Solution 1

[asy] path Q; Q=(0,0)--(1,2)--(5,2)--(4,0)--cycle; draw(Q); draw((0,0)--(1.5,1)); label("D",(0,0),S); draw((1,2)--(1.5,1)); label("A",(1,2),N); draw((5,2)--(1.5,1)); label("B",(5,2),N); draw((4,0)--(1.5,1)); label("C",(4,0),S); draw((2,0)--(1.5,1),linetype("8 8")); label("E",(2,0),S); draw((2/3,4/3)--(1.5,1),linetype("8 8")); label("F",(2/3,4/3),W); label("P",(1.5,1),NNE); [/asy]

First, continue $\overline{AP}$ to hit $\overline{CD}$ at $E$. Also continue $\overline{CP}$ to hit $\overline{AD}$ at $F$.

We have that $\angle PAB=\angle PCB$. Because $\overline{AB}\parallel\overline{CD}$, we have $\angle PAB=\angle PED$.

Similarly, because $\overline{AD}\parallel\overline{BC}$, we have $\angle PCB=\angle PFD$.

Therefore, $\angle PAB=\angle PED=\angle PCB=\angle PFD$.

We also have that $\angle ADC=\angle ABC$ because $ABCD$ is a parallelogram, and $\angle APC=\angle FPE$.

Therefore, $ABCP\sim FDEP$. This means that $\dfrac{FD}{AB}=\dfrac{FP}{AP}=\dfrac{DP}{BP}$, so $\Delta ABP\sim\Delta FDP$.

Therefore, $\angle PBA=\angle PDA$. $\Box$


Solution 2

Note that $\dfrac{1}{n}$ is rational and $n$ is not divisible by $2$ nor $5$ because $n>11$.

This means the decimal representation of $\dfrac{1}{n}$ is a repeating decimal.

Let us set $a_1a_2\cdots a_x$ as the block that repeats in the repeating decimal: $\dfrac{1}{n}=0.\overline{a_1a_2\cdots a_x}$.

($a_1a_2\cdots a_x$ written without the overline used to signify one number so won't confuse with notation for repeating decimal)

The fractional representation of this repeating decimal would be $\dfrac{1}{n}=\dfrac{a_1a_2\cdots a_x}{10^x-1}$.

Taking the reciprocal of both sides you get $n=\dfrac{10^x-1}{a_1a_2\cdots a_x}$.

Multiplying both sides by $a_1a_2\cdots a_n$ gives $n(a_1a_2\cdots a_x)=10^x-1$.

Since $10^x-1=9\times \underbrace{111\cdots 111}_{x\text{ times}}$ we divide $9$ on both sides of the equation to get $\dfrac{n(a_1a_2\cdots a_x)}{9}=\underbrace{111\cdots 111}_{x\text{ times}}$.

Because $n$ is not divisible by $3$ (therefore $9$) since $n>11$ and $n$ is prime, it follows that $n|\underbrace{111\cdots 111}_{x\text{ times}}$. $\Box$

Two half-circles are drawn as shown above, with a line $l_0$ throught the two intersections points, $X,Y$ of the half-circles. Lines $l_k$ for $k=-n\to n$ parallel to the bases of the half-circles are drawn such that the distances between $l_k$ and $l_0$ and $l_{-k}$ and $l_0$ are always the same for all $k=1\to n$.

The intersection points of $l_k$ with one of the half-circles are labeled $A_k, B_k$, and with the other half-circle at $C_k,D_k$, as shown in the diagram.

Prove that \[\prod_{k=-n}^n |A_kB_k|+|C_kD_k| \ge \prod_{k=-n}^n |A_kD_k|+|B_kC_k|\]
