Say that a (nondegenerate) triangle is [i]funny[/i] if it satisfies the following condition: the altitude, median, and angle bisector drawn from one of the vertices divide the triangle into 4 non-overlapping triangles whose areas form (in some order) a 4-term arithmetic sequence. (One of these 4 triangles is allowed to be degenerate.) Find with proof all funny triangles.

(a) The vertices of a regular $10$-gon are painted in turn black and white. Two people play the following game . Each in turn draws a diagonal connecting two vertices of the same colour . These diagonals must not intersect . The winner is the player who is able to make the last move. Who will win if both players adopt the best strategy?

Terence Tao is playing rock-paper-scissors. Because his mental energy is focused on solving the twin primes conjecture, he uses the following very simple strategy:    ·He plays rock first.    ·On each subsequent turn, he plays a different move than the previous one, each with probability ½. What is the probability that his 5th move will be rock?

Lysithea and Felix each have a take-out box, and they want to select among $42$ different types of sweets to put in their boxes. They each select an even number of sweets (possibly $0$) to put in their box. In each box, there is at most one sweet of any type, although the boxes may have sweets of the same type in common. The total number of sweets they take out is $42.$ Let $N$ be the number of ways can they select sweets to take out. Compute the remainder when $N$ is divided by $42^2 - 1.$
