In an acute triangle $ABC$, altitudes at vertices $A$ and $B$ and bisector line at angle $C$ intersect the circumcircle again at points $A_1, B_1$ and $C_0$. Using the straightedge and compass, reconstruct the triangle by points $A_1, B_1$ and $C_0$.

1967 IMO Shortlist, 6

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.

Find all positive integers $n$ satisfying the following: there exists a way to fill in $1, \cdots, n^2$ into a $n \times n$ grid so that each block has exactly one number, each number appears exactly once, and: 1. For all positive integers $1 \leq i < n^2$, $i$ and $i + 1$ are neighbors (two numbers neighbor each other if and only if their blocks share a common edge.) 2. Any two numbers among $1^2, \cdots, n^2$ are not in the same row or the same column.

The board depicts the triangle $ABC$, the altitude $AH$ and the angle bisector $AL$ which intersectthe inscribed circle in the triangle at the points $M$ and $N, P$ and $Q$, respectively. After that, the figure was erased, leaving only the points $H, M$ and $Q$. Restore the triangle $ABC$. (Bogdan Rublev)

2021 Sharygin Geometry Olympiad, 9.7

Three sidelines of on acute-angled triangle are drawn on the plane. Fyodor wants to draw the altitudes of this triangle using a ruler and a compass. Ivan obstructs him using an eraser. For each move Fyodor may draw one line through two markeed points or one circle centered at a marked point and passing through another marked point. After this Fyodor may mark an arbitrary number of points (the common points of drawn lines, arbitrary points on the drawn lines or arbitrary points on the plane). For each move Ivan erases at most three of marked point. (Fyodor may not use the erased points in his constructions but he may mark them for the second time). They move by turns, Fydors begins. Initially no points are marked. Can Fyodor draw the altitudes?

We are given a ruler with two marks at a distance 1. With its help we can do all possible constructions as with a ruler with no measurements, including one more: If there is a line $l$ and point $A$ on $l$, then we can construct points $P_1,P_2\in l$ for which $AP_1=AP_2=1$. By using this ruler, construct a perpendicular from a given point to a given line.
