Collinear and Equal Angles (Posted on 2013-11-09) Difficulty: 5 of 5
Let Γ1 and Γ2 be arbitrary circles that intersect at points P and Q.

Prove or disprove that there exist points M and N such that

(1) M ∈ Γ1\{P,Q},
(2) N ∈ Γ2\{P,Q},
(3) M, N, and P are collinear, and
(4) ∠MQP = ∠NQP.

If they exist, prove or disprove that they can be constructed with
straightedge and compass.
