2012 Polish MO Finals, 4

$n$ players ($n \ge 4$) took part in the tournament. Each player played exactly one match with every other player, there were no draws. There was no four players $(A, B, C, D)$, such that $A$ won with $B$, $B$ won with $C$, $C$ won with $D$ and $D$ won with $A$. Determine, depending on $n$, maximum number of trios of players $(A, B, C)$, such that $A$ won with $B$, $B$ won with $C$ and $C$ won with $A$. (Attention: Trios $(A, B, C)$, $(B, C, A)$ and $(C, A, B)$ are the same trio.)

Angle $C$ of an isosceles triangle $ABC$ equals $120^o$. Each of two rays emitting from vertex $C$ (inwards the triangle) meets $AB$ at some point ($P_i$) reflects according to the rule the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection" and meets lateral side of triangle $ABC$ at point $Q_i$ ($i = 1,2$). Given that angle between the rays equals $60^o$, prove that area of triangle $P_1CP_2$ equals the sum of areas of triangles $AQ_1P_1$ and $BQ_2P_2$ ($AP_1 < AP_2$).
