$A_1A_2A_3A_4A_5A_6A_7A_8$ is a regular octagon. Let $P$ be a point inside the octagon such that the distances from $P$ to $A_1A_2, A_2A_3$ and $A_3A_4$ are $24, 26$ and $27$ respectively. The length of $A_1A_2$ can be written as $a \sqrt{b} -c$, where $a,b$ and $c$ are positive integers and $b$ is not divisible by any square number other than $1$. What is the value of $(a+b+c)$?

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 $\left( \frac{x_1 + \dots + x_n}{n}, \frac{y_1 + \dots + y_n}{n}\right)$.

It is known that a square can be inscribed in a given right trapezoid so that each of its vertices lies on the corresponding side of the trapezoid (none of the vertices of the square coincides with the vertex of the trapezoid). Construct this inscribed square with a compass and a ruler. (Maria Rozhkova)

Angle bisectors from vertices $B$ and $C$ and the perpendicular bisector of side $BC$ are drawn in a non-isosceles triangle $ABC$. Next, three points of pairwise intersection of these three lines were marked (remembering which point is which), and the triangle itself was erased. Restore it according to the marked points using a compass and ruler. (Yu. Blinkov)

A circle $k$ is drawn using a given disc (e.g. a coin). A point $A$ is chosen on $k$. Using just the given disc, determine the point $B$ on $k$ so that $AB$ is a diameter of $k$. (You are allowed to choose an arbitrary point in one of the drawn circles, and using the given disc it is possible to construct either of the two circles that passes through the points at a distance that is smaller than the radius of the circle.)

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.
