Let $A, B, C, D$ be four different points on a line $\ell$, such that $AB = BC = CD$. In one of the semiplanes determined by the line $\ell$, the points $P$ and $Q$ are chosen in such a way that the triangle $CPQ$ is equilateral with its vertices named clockwise. Let $M$ and $N$ be two points on the plane such that the triangles $MAP$ and $NQD$ are equilateral (the vertices are also named clockwise). Find the measure of the angle $\angle MBN$.

A circle is inscribed in an angle with vertex $O$, touching its sides at points $M$ and $N$. On an arc $MN$ nearest to point $O$, an arbitrary point $P$ is selected. At point $P$, a tangent is drawn to the circle $P$, intersecting the sides of the angle at points $A$ and $B$. Prove that that the length of the segment $AB$ is the smallest when $P$ is its midpoint.

Let $n>1$ be an integer. Suppose we are given $2n$ points in the plane such that no three of them are collinear. The points are to be labelled $A_1, A_2, \dots , A_{2n}$ in some order. We then consider the $2n$ angles $\angle A_1A_2A_3, \angle A_2A_3A_4, \dots , \angle A_{2n-2}A_{2n-1}A_{2n}, \angle A_{2n-1}A_{2n}A_1, \angle A_{2n}A_1A_2$. We measure each angle in the way that gives the smallest positive value (i.e. between $0^{\circ}$ and $180^{\circ}$). Prove that there exists an ordering of the given points such that the resulting $2n$ angles can be separated into two groups with the sum of one group of angles equal to the sum of the other group.
