Given an infinite sequence of numbers $a_1, a_2, a_3,...$ . For each positive integer $k$ there exists a positive integer $t = t(k)$ such that $a_k = a_{k+t} = a_{k+2t} =...$. Is this sequence necessarily periodic? That is, does a positive integer $T$ exist such that $a_k = a_{k+T}$ for each positive integer k?

2000 Saint Petersburg Mathematical Olympiad, 11.7

It is known that for irrational numbers $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\gamma$, $\delta$ and for any positive integer $n$ the following is true: $$[n\alpha]+[n\beta]=[n\gamma]+[n\delta]$$ Does this mean that sets $\{\alpha,\beta\}$ and $\{\gamma,\delta\}$ are equal? (As usual $[x]$ means the greatest integer not greater than $x$).

Consider a triangle $\vartriangle ACE$ with $\angle ACE = 45^o$ and $\angle CEA = 75^o$. Define points $Q, R$, and $P$ such that $AQ$, $CR$, and $EP$ are the altitudes of $\vartriangle ACE$.
