Let $ABC$ a triangle be given with $BC = a$, $CA = b$, $AB = c$ ($a \neq b \neq c \neq a$). In plane ($ABC$) take the points $A'$, $B'$, $C'$ such that: [b]I.[/b] The pairs of points $A$ and $A'$, $B$ and $B'$, $C$ and $C'$ either all lie in one side either all lie in different sides under the lines $BC$, $CA$, $AB$ respectively; [b]II.[/b] Triangles $A'BC$, $B'CA$, $C'AB$ are similar isosceles triangles. Find the value of angle $A'BC$ as function of $a, b, c$ such that lengths $AA', BB', CC'$ are not sides of an triangle.

Ali has $100$ cards with numbers $1,2,\ldots,100$. Ali and Amin play a game together. In each step, first Ali chooses a card from the remaining cards and Amin decides to pick that card for himself or throw it away. In the case that he picks the card, he can't pick the next card chosen by Amin, and he has to throw it away. This action repeats until when there is no remaining card for Ali. Amin wants to pick cards in a way that the sum of the number of his cards is maximized and Ali wants to choose cards in a way that the sum of the number of Amin's cards is minimized. Find the most value of $k$ such that Amin can play in a way that is sure the sum of the number of his cards will be at least equal to $k$.
