    Proposed by K. R. S Sastry, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
    
    Let ABCDE be a convex, affinely regular pentagon in which each side is
    parallel to a diagonal.  Let P, Q, R, S, T be points on the sides CD,
    DE, EA, AB, BC, respectively, so that AP, BQ, CR, DS, ET concur at X. 
    Describe the set of points X for which
    
    	XP   XQ   XR   XS   XT
        -- + -- + -- + -- + --
    	PA   QB   RC   SD   TE
    
    is constant.
