For any given triangle $A_0B_0C_0$ consider a sequence of triangles constructed as follows: a new triangle $A_1B_1C_1$ (if any) has its sides (in cm) that equal to the angles of $A_0B_0C_0$ (in radians). Then for $\vartriangle A_1B_1C_1$ consider a new triangle $A_2B_2C_2$ (if any) constructed in the similar พay, i.e., $\vartriangle A_2B_2C_2$ has its sides (in cm) that equal to the angles of $A_1B_1C_1$ (in radians), and so on. Determine for which initial triangles $A_0B_0C_0$ the sequence never terminates.

Jonathan and Eric are standing one kilometer apart on a large, flat, empty field. Jonathan rotates an angle of $\theta = 120^o$ counterclockwise around Eric, then Eric moves half of the distance to Jonathan. They keep repeating the previous two movements in this order. After a very long time, their locations approach a point $P$ on the field. What is the distance, in kilometers, from Jonathan’s starting location to $P$?

Nina and Tadashi play the following game. Initially, a triple $(a, b, c)$ of nonnegative integers with $a+b+c=2021$ is written on a blackboard. Nina and Tadashi then take moves in turn, with Nina first. A player making a move chooses a positive integer $k$ and one of the three entries on the board; then the player increases the chosen entry by $k$ and decreases the other two entries by $k$. A player loses if, on their turn, some entry on the board becomes negative. Find the number of initial triples $(a, b, c)$ for which Tadashi has a winning strategy.
