There is a board with the shape of an equilateral triangle with side $n$ divided into triangular cells with the shape of equilateral triangles with side $ 1$ (the figure below shows the board when $n = 4$). Each and every triangular cell is colored either red or blue. What is the least number of cells that can be colored blue without two red cells sharing one side?

A median , a bisector and an altitude of a certain triangle intersect at an inner point $O$ . The segment of the bisector from the vertex to $O$ is equal to the segment of the altitude from the vertex to $O$ . Prove that the triangle is equilateral .
On each side of an equilateral triangle of side $n \ge 1$ consider $n - 1$ points that divide the sides into $n$ equal segments. Through these points draw parallel lines to the sides of the triangles, obtaining a net of equilateral triangles of side length $1$. On each of the vertices of the small triangles put a coin head up. A move consists in flipping over three mutually adjacent coins. Find all values of $n$ for which it is possible to turn all coins tail up after a finite number of moves.

Kikoriki live on the shores of a pond in the form of an equilateral triangle with a side of $600$ m, Krash and Wally live on the same shore, $300$ m from each other. In summer, Dokko to Krash walk $900$ m, and Wally to Rosa - also $900$ m. Prove that in winter, when the pond freezes and it will be possible to walk directly on the ice, Dokko will walk as many meters to Krash as Wally to Rosa.
