The map shows sections of three straight roads connecting the three villages, but the villages themselves are located outside the map. In addition, the fire station located at an equal distance from the three villages is not indicated on the map, although its location is within the map. Is it possible to find this place with the help of a compass and a ruler, if the construction is carried out only within the map?

Chords $AB$ and $CD$, which do not intersect, are drawn in a circle. On the chord $AB$ or on its extension is taken the point $E$. Using a compass and construct the point $F$ on the arc $AB$ , such that $\frac{PE}{EQ} = \frac{m}{n}$, where $m,n$ are given natural numbers, $P$ is the point of intersection of the chord $AB$ with the chord $FC$, $Q$ is the point of intersection of the chord $AB$ with the chord $FD$. Consider cases where $E\in PQ$ and $E \notin PQ$.

Suppose medians $m_a$ and $m_b$ of a triangle are orthogonal. Prove that: a.) Using medians of that triangle it is possible to construct a rectangular triangle. b.) The following inequality: \[5(a^2+b^2-c^2) \geq 8ab,\] is valid, where $a,b$ and $c$ are side length of the given triangle.

The altitude from one vertex of a triangle, the bisector from the another one and the median from the remaining vertex were drawn, the common points of these three lines were marked, and after this everything was erased except three marked points. Restore the triangle. (For every two erased segments, it is known which of the three points was their intersection point.) (A. Zaslavsky)

2019 Yasinsky Geometry Olympiad, p6

The board features a triangle $ABC$, its center of the circle circumscribed is the point $O$, the midpoint of the side $BC$ is the point $F$, and also some point $K$ on side $AC$ (see fig.). Master knowing that $\angle BAC$ of this triangle is equal to the sharp angle $\alpha$ has separately drawn an angle equal to $\alpha$. After this teacher wiped the board, leaving only the points $O, F, K$ and the angle $\alpha$. Is it possible with a compass and a ruler to construct the triangle $ABC$ ? Justify the answer.

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.
