1967 IMO Longlists, 53

In making Euclidean constructions in geometry it is permitted to use a ruler and a pair of compasses. In the constructions considered in this question no compasses are permitted, but the ruler is assumed to have two parallel edges, which can be used for constructing two parallel lines through two given points whose distance is at least equal to the breadth of the rule. Then the distance between the parallel lines is equal to the breadth of the ruler. Carry through the following constructions with such a ruler. Construct: [b]a)[/b] The bisector of a given angle. [b]b)[/b] The midpoint of a given rectilinear line segment. [b]c)[/b] The center of a circle through three given non-collinear points. [b]d)[/b] A line through a given point parallel to a given line.

Said bisectors intersect at $P$ and $Q$, then $PQ$ is the bisector sought.

2022 Germany Team Selection Test, 2

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.

2024 Ukraine National Mathematical Olympiad, Problem 2

There is a table with $n > 2$ cells in the first row, $n-1$ cells in the second row is a cell, $n-2$ in the third row, $\ldots$, $1$ cell in the $n$-th row. The cells are arranged as shown below. [img]https://i.ibb.co/0Z1CR0c/UMO24-8-2.png[/img] In each cell of the top row Petryk writes a number from $1$ to $n$, so that each number is written exactly once. For each other cell, if the cells directly above it contains numbers $a, b$, it contains number $|a-b|$. What is the largest number that can be written in a single cell of the bottom row?
