1968 Dutch Mathematical Olympiad, 4

Given is a triangle $ABC$. A line $\ell$ passes through reflection wrt $BC$ changes into the line $\ell'$, $\ell'$ changes into $\ell''$ through reflection wrt $AC$ and $\ell''$ through reflection wrt $AB$ changes into $\ell'''$. Construct the line $\ell$ given that $\ell'''$ coincides with $\ell$.

Restore a triangle by one of its vertices, the circumcenter and the Lemoine's point. [i](The Lemoine's point is the intersection point of the reflections of the medians in the correspondent angle bisectors)[/i]

The map shows sections of three straight roads connecting the three villages, but the villages themselves are located outside the map. In addition, the fire station located at an equal distance from the three villages is not indicated on the map, although its location is within the map. Is it possible to find this place with the help of a compass and a ruler, if the construction is carried out only within the map?

Let $r>1$ be a rational number. Alice plays a solitaire game on a number line. Initially there is a red bead at $0$ and a blue bead at $1$. In a move, Alice chooses one of the beads and an integer $k \in \mathbb{Z}$. If the chosen bead is at $x$, and the other bead is at $y$, then the bead at $x$ is moved to the point $x'$ satisfying $x'-y=r^k(x-y)$. Find all $r$ for which Alice can move the red bead to $1$ in at most $2021$ moves.

2011 Sharygin Geometry Olympiad, 5

It is possible to compose a triangle from the altitudes of a given triangle. Can we conclude that it is possible to compose a triangle from its bisectors?

Prove that infinitely many positive integers can be represented as $(a-1)/b + (b-1)/c + (c-1)/a$, where $a$, $b$ and $c$ are pairwise distinct positive integers greater than 1.

2025 India National Olympiad, P6

Let $b \geqslant 2$ be a positive integer. Anu has an infinite collection of notes with exactly $b-1$ copies of a note worth $b^k-1$ rupees, for every integer $k\geqslant 1$. A positive integer $n$ is called payable if Anu can pay exactly $n^2+1$ rupees by using some collection of her notes. Prove that if there is a payable number, there are infinitely many payable numbers. [i]Proposed by Shantanu Nene[/i]

2024 Bulgaria National Olympiad, 2

Given is a triangle $ABC$ and the points $M, P$ lie on the segments $AB, BC$, respectively, such that $AM=BC$ and $CP=BM$. If $AP$ and $CM$ meet at $O$ and $2\angle AOM=\angle ABC$, find the measure of $\angle ABC$.

Given an acute angle and a circle inside the angle. Find a point $ M $ on the circle such that the sum of the distances of the point $ M $ from the sides of the angle is a minimum.

2009 QEDMO 6th, 7

Albatross and Frankinfueter both own a circle. Frankinfueter also has stolen from Prof. Trugweg a ruler. Before that, Trugweg had two points with a distance of $1$ drawn his (infinitely large) board. For a natural number $n$, let A $(n)$ be the number of the construction steps that Albatross needs at least to create two points with a distance of $n$ to construct. Similarly, Frankinfueter needs at least $F(n)$ steps for this. How big can $\frac{A (n)}{F (n)}$ become? There are only the following three construction steps: a) Mark an intersection of two straight lines, two circles or a straight line with one circle. b) Pierce at a marked point $P$ and draw a circle around $P$ through one marked point . c) Draw a straight line through two marked points (this implies possession of a ruler ahead!).

Let's call a convex figure, the boundary of which consists of two segments and an arc of a circle, a mushroom-gon (see fig.). An arbitrary mushroom-gon is given. Use a compass and straightedge to draw a straight line dividing its area in half. [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/d/e/e541a83a7bb31ba14b3637f82e6a6d1ea51e22.png[/img]

Chords $AB$ and $CD$, which do not intersect, are drawn in a circle. On the chord $AB$ or on its extension is taken the point $E$. Using a compass and construct the point $F$ on the arc $AB$ , such that $\frac{PE}{EQ} = \frac{m}{n}$, where $m,n$ are given natural numbers, $P$ is the point of intersection of the chord $AB$ with the chord $FC$, $Q$ is the point of intersection of the chord $AB$ with the chord $FD$. Consider cases where $E\in PQ$ and $E \notin PQ$.
