Given an acute-angled triangle $ABC$, let points $A' , B' , C'$ be located as follows: $A'$ is the point where altitude from $A$ on $BC$ meets the outwards-facing semicircle on $BC$ as diameter. Points $B', C'$ are located similarly.
Prove that $A[BCA']^2 + A[CAB']^2 + A[ABC']^2 = A[ABC]^2$ where $A[ABC]$ is the area of triangle $ABC$.

Let $\theta$ be an obtuse angle with $\sin{\theta}=\frac{3}{5}$. If an ant starts at the origin and repeatedly moves $1$ unit and turns by an angle of $\theta$, there exists a region $R$ in the plane such that for every point $P\in R$ and every constant $c>0$, the ant is within a distance $c$ of $P$ at some point in time (so the ant gets arbitrarily close to every point in the set). What is the largest possible area of $R$?

1985 IMO Shortlist, 14
A set of $1985$ points is distributed around the circumference of a circle and each of the points is marked with $1$ or $-1$. A point is called “good” if the partial sums that can be formed by starting at that point and proceeding around the circle for any distance in either direction are all strictly positive. Show that if the number of points marked with $-1$ is less than $662$, there must be at least one good point.

Bob proposes the following game to Johanna. The board in the figure is an equilateral triangle subdivided in turn into $256$ small equilateral triangles, one of which is painted in black. Bob chooses any point inside the board and places a small token. Johanna can make three types of plays. Each of them consists of choosing any of the $3$ vertices of the board and move the token to the midpoint between the current position of the tile and the chosen vertex. In the second figure we see an example of a move in which Johana chose vertex $A$. Johanna wins if she manages to place her piece inside the triangle black. Prove that Johanna can always win in at most $4$ moves.

In an actue-angled triangle $ABC$ draws up: its circumcircle $w$
with center $O$, the circumcircle $w_1$ of the triangle $AOC$ and
the diameter $OQ$ of $w_1$. The points are chosen $M$ and $N$ on
the straight lines $AQ$ and $AC$, respectively, in such a way that
the quadrilateral $AMBN$ is a parallelogram.
Prove that the intersection point of the straight lines $MN$ and $BQ$ belongs the
circumference $w_1.$

Let $A_1$ be the center of the square inscribed in acute triangle $ABC$ with two vertices of the square on side $BC$. Thus one of the two remaining vertices of the square is on side $AB$ and the other is on $AC$. Points $B_1,\ C_1$ are defined in a similar way for inscribed squares with two vertices on sides $AC$ and $AB$, respectively. Prove that lines $AA_1,\ BB_1,\ CC_1$ are concurrent.

Find the number of ways to partition $S = \{1, 2, 3, \dots, 2020\}$ into two disjoint sets $A$ and $B$ with $A \cup B = S$ so that if you choose an element $a$ from $A$ and an element $b$ from $B$, $a+b$ is never a multiple of $20$. $A$ or $B$ can be the empty set, and the order of $A$ and $B$ doesn't matter. In other words, the pair of sets $(A,B)$ is indistinguishable from the pair of sets $(B,A)$.
