There are $3$ sticks of each color between blue, red and green, such that we can make a triangle $T$ with sides sticks with all different colors. Dana makes $2$ two arrangements, she starts with $T$ and uses the other six sticks to extend the sides of $T$, as shown in the figure. This leads to two hexagons with vertex the ends of these six sticks. Prove that the area of the both hexagons it´s the same.

A function $\psi \colon {\mathbb Z} \to {\mathbb Z}$ is said to be [i]zero-requiem[/i] if for any positive integer $n$ and any integers $a_1$, $\ldots$, $a_n$ (not necessarily distinct), the sums $a_1 + a_2 + \dots + a_n$ and $\psi(a_1) + \psi(a_2) + \dots + \psi(a_n)$ are not both zero.
Let $f$ and $g$ be two zero-requiem functions for which $f \circ g$ and $g \circ f$ are both the identity function (that is, $f$ and $g$ are mutually inverse bijections). Given that $f+g$ is [i]not[/i] a zero-requiem function, prove that $f \circ f$ and $g \circ g$ are both zero-requiem.

Let $1 \leq n \leq 2021$ be a positive integer. Jack has $2021$ coins arranged in a line where each coin has an $H$ on one side and a $T$ on the other. At the beginning, all coins show $H$ except the nth coin. Jack can repeatedly perform the following operation: he chooses a coin showing $T$, and turns over the coins next to it to the left and to the right (if any). Determine all $n$ such that Jack can make all coins show $T$ after a finite number of operations.

In the acute-angled triangle $ABC$, the point $F$ is the foot of the altitude from $A$, and $P$ is a point on the segment $AF$. The lines through $P$ parallel to $AC$ and $AB$ meet $BC$ at $D$ and $E$, respectively.

Given a finite binary string $S$ of symbols $X,O$ we define $\Delta(S)=n(X)-n(O)$ where $n(X),n(O)$ respectively denote number of $X$'s and $O$'s in a string. For example $\Delta(XOOXOOX)=3-4=-1$. We call a string $S$ $\emph{balanced}$ if every substring $T$ of $S$ has $-2\le \Delta(T)\le 2$. Find number of balanced strings of length $n$.
