A rectangular piece of paper has top edge $AD$. A line $L$ from $A$ to the bottom edge makes an angle $x$ with the line $AD$. We want to trisect $x$. We take $B$ and $C$ on the vertical ege through $A$ such that $AB = BC$. We then fold the paper so that $C$ goes to a point $C'$ on the line $L$ and $A$ goes to a point $A'$ on the horizontal line through $B$. The fold takes $B$ to $B'$. Show that $AA'$ and $AB'$ are the required trisectors.

Let $\Gamma$ be the circle centered at $D’$ that passing through $A$ and $I$, and let $X$, $Y\neq A$ be the intersection of $\Gamma$ and $AB$, $AC$, respectively. Suppose $Z$ is a point on $\Gamma$ so that $AZ$ is perpendicular to $BC$.
Prove that $AD$, $D’Z$, $XY$ concurrent at a point.
In a plane, there are $n \geq 3$ circular beer mats $B_{1}, B_{2}, ..., B_{n}$ of equal size. $B_{k}$ touches $B_{k+1}$ ($k=1,2,...,n$); $B_{n+1}=B_{1}$. The beer mats are placed such that another beer mat $B$ of equal size touches all of them in the given order if rolling along the outside of the chain of beer mats.

The endpoints of a compass are at two lattice points of an infinite unit square
grid. It is allowed to rotate the compass around one of its endpoints, not varying
its radius, and thus move the other endpoint to another lattice point. Can the
endpoints of the compass change places after several such steps?

$$\frac{1}{AB}+\frac{1}{AC} > \frac{1}{CS}.$$

Let $AB$ and $CD$ be two diameters of the circle $C$. For an arbitrary point $P$ on $C$, let $R$ and $S$ be the feet of the perpendiculars from $P$ to $AB$ and $CD$, respectively. Show that the length of $RS$ is independent of the choice of $P$.
A $3\times3$ square is partitioned into $9$ unit squares. Each unit square is painted either white or black with each color being equally likely, chosen independently and at random. The square is the rotated $90^\circ$ clockwise about its center, and every white square in a position formerly occupied by a black square is painted black. The colors of all other squares are left unchanged. What is the probability that the grid is now entirely black?
