All three sides of an equilateral triangle are assumed to be reflective (except in the vertices), in such a way that they reflect the rays of light located in their plane, that fall on them and that come out of an interior point of the triangle.
Determine the path of a ray of light that, starting from a vertex of the triangle reach another vertex of the same after reflecting successively on the three sides. Calculate the length of the path followed by the light assuming that the side of the triangle measures $1$ m.

In triangle $\vartriangle ABC$, we have marked points $A_1$ on side $BC, B_1$ on side $AC$, and $C_1$ on side $AB$ so that $AA_1$ is an altitude, $BB_1$ is a median, and $CC_1$ is an angle bisector. It is known that $\vartriangle A_1B_1C_1$ is equilateral. Prove that $\vartriangle ABC$ is equilateral too.
(Note: A median connects a vertex of a triangle with the midpoint of the opposite side. Thus, for median $BB_1$ we know that $B_1$ is the midpoint of side $AC$ in $\vartriangle ABC$.)

The target is a triangle divided by three families of parallel lines into $100$ equal regular triangles with single sides. A sniper shoots at a target. He aims at triangle and hits either it or one of the sides adjacent to it. He sees the results of his shooting and can choose when stop shooting. What is the greatest number of triangles he can with a guarantee of hitting five times?
