But if I move R closer and closer to the midpoint, the asked-for point goes farther and farther away from PQ, until the time when R is on PQ, at which point the circumcentre is infinitely far from PQ and doesn't exist as a real point. | |

In second problem I see this way- if R was midpoint on the line PQ, then I guess there is no point. But, if R is equidistant from both P and Q but not midpoint, then one point is possible in opposite side of R. | |
