2021 Taiwan TST Round 1, 6

Let $n$ be a positive integer and $N=n^{2021}$. There are $2021$ concentric circles centered at $O$, and $N$ equally-spaced rays are emitted from point $O$. Among the $2021N$ intersections of the circles and the rays, some are painted red while the others remain unpainted. It is known that, no matter how one intersection point from each circle is chosen, there is an angle $\theta$ such that after a rotation of $\theta$ with respect to $O$, all chosen points are moved to red points. Prove that the minimum number of red points is $2021n^{2020}$. [I]Proposed by usjl.[/i]

Point $O$ is the center of circumcircle $\omega$ of the isosceles triangle $ABC$ ($AB = AC$). Bisector of the angle $\angle C$ intersects $\omega$ at the point $W$. Point $Q$ is the center of the circumcircle of the triangle $OWB$. Construct the triangle $ABC$ given the points $Q,W, B$. (Andrey Mostovy)

Helen has a wooden rectangle of unknown dimensions, a straightedge, and a pencil (no compass). Is it possible for her to construct a line segment on the rectangle connecting the midpoints of two opposite sides, where she cannot draw any lines or points outside the rectangle? Note: Helen is allowed to draw lines between two points she has already marked, and mark the intersection of any two lines she has already drawn, if the intersection lies on the rectangle. Further, Helen is allowed to mark arbitrary points either on the rectangle or on a segment she has previously drawn. Assume that only the four vertices of the rectangle have been marked prior to the beginning of this process.

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.

For a given quadrilateral $A_1A_2B_1B_2,$ a point $P$ is called [i]phenomenal[/i], if line segments $A_1A_2$ and $B_1B_2$ subtend the same angle at point $P$ (i.e. triangles $PA_1A_2$ and $PB_1B_2$ which can be also also degenerate have equal inner angles at point $P$ disregarding orientation). Three non-collinear points, $A_1,A_2,$ and $B_1$ are given in the plane. Prove that it is possible to find a disc in the plane such that for every point $B_2$ on the disc, the quadrilateral $A_1A_2B_1B_2$ is convex and it is possible to construct seven distinct phenomenal points (with respect to $A_1A_2B_1B_2$) only using a right ruler. With a right ruler the following two operations are allowed: [list=1] [*]Given two points it is possible to draw the straight line connecting them; [*]Given a point and a straight line, it is possible to draw the straight line passing through the given point which is perpendicular to the given line.

The student drew a right triangle $ABC$ on the board with a right angle at the vertex $B$ and inscribed in it an equilateral triangle $KMP$ such that the points $K, M, P$ lie on the sides $AB, BC, AC$, respectively, and $KM \parallel AC$. Then the picture was erased, leaving only points $A, P$ and $C$. Restore erased points and lines.

There is a ruler and a "rusty" compass, with which you can construct a circle of radius $R$. The point $K$ is from the line $\ell$ at a distance greater than $R$. How to use this ruler and this compass to draw a line passing through the point $K$ and perpendicular to line $\ell$? (Misha Sidorenko, Katya Sidorenko, Rodion Osokin)

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.
