Jul 28, 2018 at 15:29 comment added fleablood @EMalkin I don't see how it can mean anything else. $O1$ is the center of the $C_1$ and $A$ is also on $C_1$. Any line through a center, which $O_1A$ is intersects the circle exactly twice (forming a diameter). The implication is $A$ is a different point than $P_1$ so it must be the other point. Even if $A$ could be the same as $P_1$ the question asks for the maximum number of $6$ possible points so it seems we must consider the points being different to have more of them.
Jul 28, 2018 at 15:25 comment added Malkin Does the question suggest that line $O_1A$ should be extended to meet the circle $C_1$ again at $P_1$ (so that $AP_1$ is a diameter of the circle)?
Jul 28, 2018 at 15:25 comment added fleablood I think P1 is supposed to be the point opposite P1. In other words $P_1,O_1, A$ form a diameter.
