$A_0B_0C_0$ and $A_1B_1C_1$ are acute-angled triangles. Describe, and prove, how to construct the triangle $ABC$ with the largest possible area which is circumscribed about $A_0B_0C_0$ (so $BC$ contains $B_0, CA$ contains $B_0$, and $AB$ contains $C_0$) and similar to $A_1B_1C_1.$

A circle is inscribed in a triangle $ABC$ with sides $a,b,c$. Tangents to the circle parallel to the sides of the triangle are contructe. Each of these tangents cuts off a triagnle from $\triangle ABC$. In each of these triangles, a circle is inscribed. Find the sum of the areas of all four inscribed circles (in terms of $a,b,c$).

Let $ABC$ be a triangle. For a point $P$ in its interior, we draw the threee lines through $P$ parallel to the sides of the triangle. This partitions $ABC$ in three triangles and three quadrilaterals.
Let $V_A$ be the area of the quadrilateral which has $A$ as one vertex. Let $D_A$ be the area of the triangle which has a part of $BC$ as one of its sides. Define $V_B, D_B$ and $V_C, D_C$ similarly.
Determine all possible values of $\frac{D_A}{V_A}+\frac{D_B}{V_B}+\frac{D_C}{V_C}$, as $P$ varies in the interior of the triangle.

In triangle $ABC$, $BC = 23$, $CA = 27$, and $AB = 30$. Points $V$ and $W$ are on $\overline{AC}$ with $V$ on $\overline{AW}$, points $X$ and $Y$ are on $\overline{BC}$ with $X$ on $\overline{CY}$, and points $Z$ and $U$ are on $\overline{AB}$ with $Z$ on $\overline{BU}$. In addition, the points are positioned so that $\overline{UV} \parallel \overline{BC}$, $\overline{WX} \parallel \overline{AB}$, and $\overline{YZ} \parallel \overline{CA}$. Right angle folds are then made along $\overline{UV}$, $\overline{WX}$, and $\overline{YZ}$. The resulting figure is placed on a level floor to make a table with triangular legs. Let $h$ be the maximum possible height of a table constructed from triangle $ABC$ whose top is parallel to the floor. Then $h$ can be written in the form $\tfrac{k \sqrt{m}}{n}$, where $k$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers and $m$ is a positive integer that is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $k + m + n$.

A triangle $ABC$ with area $1$ is given. Anja and Bernd are playing the following game: Anja chooses a point $X$ on side $BC$. Then Bernd chooses a point $Y$ on side $CA$ und at last Anja chooses a point $Z$ on side $AB$. Also, $X,Y$ and $Z$ cannot be a vertex of triangle $ABC$. Anja wants to maximize the area of triangle $XYZ$ and Bernd wants to minimize that area.
What is the area of triangle $XYZ$ at the end of the game, if both play optimally?
