We are given a triangle $ABC$ in a plane $P$. To any line $D$, not parallel to any side of the triangle, we associate the barycenter $G_D$ of the set of intersection points of $D$ with the sides of $\triangle ABC$. The object of this problem is determining the set $\mathfrak F$ of points $G_D$ when $D$ varies.
(a) If $D$ goes over all lines parallel to a given line $\delta$, prove that $G_D$ describes a line $\Delta_\delta$.
(b) Assume $\triangle ABC$ is equilateral. Prove that all lines $\Delta_\delta$ are tangent to the same circle as $\delta$ varies, and describe the set $\mathfrak F$.
(c) If $ABC$ is an arbitrary triangle, prove that one can find a plane $P$ and an equilateral triangle $A'B'C'$ whose orthogonal projection onto $P$ is $\triangle ABC$, and describe the set $\mathfrak F$ in the general case.

Define $f(x)$ to be the nearest integer to $x$, with the greater integer chosen if two integers are tied for being the nearest. For example, $f(2.3) = 2$, $f(2.5) = 3$, and $f(2.7) = 3$. Define $[A]$ to be the area of region $A$. Define region $R_n$, for each positive integer $n$, to be the region on the Cartesian plane which satisfies the inequality $f(|x|) + f(|y|) < n$. We pick an arbitrary point $O$ on the perimeter of $R_n$, and mark every two units around the perimeter with another point. Region $S_{nO}$ is defined by connecting these points in order.

Let n be a fixed prime number >3. A triangle is said to be admissible if the measure of each of its angles is of the form $\frac{m\cdot 180^{\circ}}{n}$ for some positive integer m.
We are given one admissible triangle. Every minute we cut one of the triangles we already have into two admissible triangles so that no two of the triangles we have after cutting are similar. After some time, it turns out that no more cuttings are possible. Prove that at this moment, the triangles we have contain all possible admissible triangles (we do not distinguish between triangles which have same sets of angles, i.e. similar triangles).
