2011 Sharygin Geometry Olympiad, 2

Peter made a paper rectangle, put it on an identical rectangle and pasted both rectangles along their perimeters. Then he cut the upper rectangle along one of its diagonals and along the perpendiculars to this diagonal from two remaining vertices. After this he turned back the obtained triangles in such a way that they, along with the lower rectangle form a new rectangle. Let this new rectangle be given. Restore the original rectangle using compass and ruler.

A trapezoid $ABCD$ with bases $BC = a$ and $AD = 2a$ is drawn on the plane. Using only with a ruler, construct a triangle whose area is equal to the area of the trapezoid. With the help of a ruler you can draw straight lines through two known points. (Rozhkova Maria)

Let $n$ be a positive integer. The Georgian folk dance team consists of $2n$ dancers, with $n$ males and $n$ females. Each dancer, both male and female, is assigned a number from 1 to $n$. During one of their dances, all the dancers line up in a single line. Their wish is that, for every integer $k$ from 1 to $n$, there are exactly $k$ dancers positioned between the $k$th numbered male and the $k$th numbered female. Prove the following statements: a) If $n \equiv 1 \text{ or } 2 \mod{4}$, then the dancers cannot fulfill their wish. b) If $n \equiv 0 \text{ or } 3 \mod{4}$, then the dancers can fulfill their wish.

Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle, and its altitudes $AX,BY,CZ$ concurrent at $H$. Construct circles $(K_a), (K_b), (K_c)$ circumscribing the triangles $AY Z, BZX, CXY$ . Construct a circle $(K)$ that is internally tangent to all the three circles $(Ka), (K_b), (K_c)$. Prove that $(K)$ is tangent to the circumcircle $(O)$ of the triangle $ABC$. Đỗ Thanh Sơn

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!).

The teacher drew a coordinate plane on the board and marked some points on this plane. Unfortunately, Vasya's second-grader, who was on duty, erased almost the entire drawing, except for two points $A (1, 2)$ and $B (3,1)$. Will the excellent Andriyko be able to follow these two points to construct the beginning of the coordinate system point $O (0, 0)$? Point A on the board located above and to the left of point $B$.
