The plane is divided into a net of equilateral triangles of side length $1$, with disjoint interiors. A checker is placed initialy inside a triangle. The checker can be moved into another triangle sharing a common vertex (with the triangle hosting the checker) and having the opposite sides (with respect to this vertex) parallel. A path consists in a finite sequence of moves. Prove that there is no path between two triangles sharing a common side.

Given a regular $72$-gon. Lenya and Kostya play the game "Make an equilateral triangle." They take turns marking with a pencil on one still unmarked angle of the $72$-gon: Lenya uses red. Kostya uses blue. Lenya starts the game, and the one who marks first wins if its color is three vertices that are the vertices of some equilateral triangle, if all the vertices are marked and no such a triangle exists, the game ends in a draw. Prove that Kostya can play like this so as not to lose.
