Let \( I \) and \( M \) be the incenter and the centroid of a scalene triangle \( ABC \), respectively. A line passing through point \( I \) parallel to \( BC \) intersects \( AC \) and \( AB \) at points \( E \) and \( F \), respectively. Reconstruct triangle \( ABC \) given only the marked points \( E, F, I, \) and \( M \).

Let $m, n \ge 2$ be integers. Carl is given $n$ marked points in the plane and wishes to mark their centroid.* He has no standard compass or straightedge. Instead, he has a device which, given marked points $A$ and $B$, marks the $m-1$ points that divide segment $\overline{AB}$ into $m$ congruent parts (but does not draw the segment).
For which pairs $(m,n)$ can Carl necessarily accomplish his task, regardless of which $n$ points he is given?
*Here, the [i]centroid[/i] of $n$ points with coordinates $(x_1, y_1), \dots, (x_n, y_n)$ is the point with coordinates $\left( \frac{x_1 + \dots + x_n}{n}, \frac{y_1 + \dots + y_n}{n}\right)$.

A circle is circumscribed around an isosceles triangle $ABC$ with base $BC$. The bisector of the angle $C$ and the bisector of the angles $A$ intersect the circle at the points $E$ and $D$, respectively, and the segment $DE$ intersects the sides $BC$ and $AB$ at the points $P$ and $Q$, respectively. Reconstruct $\vartriangle ABC$ given points $D, P, Q$, if it is known in which half-plane relative to the line $DQ$ lies the vertex $A$.

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.

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.
