Prove that in an arbitrary convex hexagon there is a diagonal that cuts off from it a triangle whose area does not exceed $\frac16$ of the area of the hexagon. What are the properties of a convex hexagon, each diagonal of which is cut off from it is a triangle whose area is not less than $\frac16$ the area of the hexagon?

Let $ABCD$ be a convex quadrilateral with perpendicular diagonals.

We divide a convex $2009$-gon in triangles using non-intersecting diagonals. One of these diagonals is colored green. It is allowed the following operation: for two triangles $ABC$ and $BCD$ from the dividing/separating with a common side $BC$ if the replaced diagonal was green it loses its color and the replacing diagonal becomes green colored. Prove that if we choose any diagonal in advance it can be colored in green after applying the operation described finite number of times.
A convex hexagon $ABCDEF$ is given whose sides $AB$ and $DE$ are parallel. Each of the diagonals $AD, BE, CF$ divides this hexagon into two quadrilaterals of equal perimeters. Show that these three diagonals intersect at one point.

For a natural number $n \ge 3$, we draw $n - 3$ internal diagonals in a non self-intersecting, but not necessarily convex, n-gon, cutting the $n$-gon into $n - 2$ triangles. It is known that the value (in degrees) of any angle in any of these triangles is a natural number and no two of these angle values are equal. What is the largest possible value of $n$?

Let $ABCD$ be a quadrilateral. The diagonals $AC$ and $BD$ are perpendicular at point $O$. The perpendiculars from $O$ on the sides of the quadrilateral meet $AB, BC, CD, DA$ at $M, N, P, Q$, respectively, and meet again $CD, DA, AB, BC$ at $M', N', P', Q'$, respectively. Prove that points $M, N, P, Q, M', N', P', Q'$ are concyclic.
