An angle is given in a plane. Using only a compass, one must find out
$(a)$ if this angle is acute. Find the minimal number of circles one must draw to be sure.
$(b)$ if this angle equals $31^{\circ}$.(One may draw as many circles as one needs).

Starting with the triple $(1007\sqrt{2},2014\sqrt{2},1007\sqrt{14})$, define a sequence of triples $(x_{n},y_{n},z_{n})$ by
$x_{n+1}=\sqrt{x_{n}(y_{n}+z_{n}-x_{n})}$
$y_{n+1}=\sqrt{y_{n}(z_{n}+x_{n}-y_{n})}$
$ z_{n+1}=\sqrt{z_{n}(x_{n}+y_{n}-z_{n})}$
for $n\geq 0$.Show that each of the sequences $\langle x_n\rangle _{n\geq 0},\langle y_n\rangle_{n\geq 0},\langle z_n\rangle_{n\geq 0}$ converges to a limit and find these limits.

Two points on the distance 1 are given in a plane. It is allowed to draw a line through two marked points, as well as a circle centered in a marked point with radius equal to the distance between some two marked points. By marked points we mean the two initial points and intersection points of two lines, two circles, or a line and a circle constructed so far. Let $C(n)$ be the minimum number of circles needed to construct two points on the distance $n$ if only a compass is used, and let $LC(n)$ be the minimum total number of circles and lines needed to do so if a ruler and a compass are used, where $n$ is a natural
number. Prove that the sequence $C(n)/LC(n)$ is not bounded.

There is a circle $c$ centered about the origin of radius $ 1$. There are circles $c_1$,$ . . .$ ,$c_6$, each of radius $r_1$, such that each circle is completely inside c and is tangent to it, and $c_2$ is tangent to $c_1$, $c_3$ is tangent to $c_2$, . . ., and $c_1$ is tangent to $c_6$. There is a circle $d$ which is tangent to $c$, $c_1$, and $c_2$, but does not intersect any of these circles. What is the radius of circle $d$? Express your answer in the form $\frac{a+b\sqrt{c}}{d}$ , where $a,b,c,d$ are integers, $d$ is positive and as small as possible, and $c$ is squarefree.
