Three sidelines of on acute-angled triangle are drawn on the plane. Fyodor wants to draw the altitudes of this triangle using a ruler and a compass. Ivan obstructs him using an eraser. For each move Fyodor may draw one line through two markeed points or one circle centered at a marked point and passing through another marked point. After this Fyodor may mark an arbitrary number of points (the common points of drawn lines, arbitrary points on the drawn lines or arbitrary points on the plane). For each move Ivan erases at most three of marked point. (Fyodor may not use the erased points in his constructions but he may mark them for the second time). They move by turns, Fydors begins. Initially no points are marked. Can Fyodor draw the altitudes?

In the beginnig, each unit square of a $m\times n$ board is colored white. We are supposed to color all the squares such that one of two adjacent squares having a common side is black and the other is white. At each move, we choose a $2 \times 2$ square, and we color each of $4$ squares inversely such that if the square is black then it is colored white or vice versa. For which of the following ordered pair $(m, n)$, can the board be colored in this way? $ \textbf{a)}\ (3,3) \qquad\textbf{b)}\ (2,6) \qquad\textbf{c)}\ (4,8) \qquad\textbf{d)}\ (5,5) \qquad\textbf{e)}\ \text{None of above} $

2017 LMT, Radical Cent

Let $P$ be a point and $\omega$ be a circle with center $O$ and radius $r$ . We define the power of the point $P$ with respect to the circle $\omega$ to be $OP^2 - r^2$ , and we denote this by pow $(P, \omega)$. We define the radical axis of two circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ to be the locus of all points P such that pow $(P,\omega_1) =$ pow $(P,\omega_2)$. It turns out that the pairwise radical axes of three circles are either concurrent or pairwise parallel. The concurrence point is referred to as the radical center of the three circles. In $\vartriangle ABC$, let $I$ be the incenter, $\Gamma$ be the circumcircle, and $O$ be the circumcenter. Let $A_1,B_1,C_1$ be the point of tangency of the incircle of $\vartriangle ABC$ with side $BC,CA, AB$, respectively. Let $X_1,X_2 \in \Gamma$ such that $X_1,B_1,C_1,X_2$ are collinear in this order. Let $M_A$ be the midpoint of $BC$, and define $\omega_A$ as the circumcircle of $\vartriangle X_1X_2M_A$. Define $\omega_B$ ,$\omega_C$ analogously. The goal of this problem is to show that the radical center of $\omega_A$, $\omega_B$, $\omega_C$ lies on line $OI$. (a) Let$ A'_1$ denote the intersection of $B_1C_1$ and $BC$. Show that $\frac{A_1B}{A_1C}=\frac{A'_1B}{A'_1C}$. (b) Prove that $A_1$ lies on $\omega_A$. (c) Prove that $A_1$ lies on the radical axis of $\omega_B$ and $\omega_C$ . (d) Prove that the radical axis of $\omega_B$ and $\omega_C$ is perpendicular to $B_1C_1$. (e) Prove that the radical center of $\omega_A$, $\omega_B$, $\omega_C$ is the orthocenter of $\vartriangle A_1B_1C_1$. (f ) Conclude that the radical center of $\omega_A$, $\omega_B$, $\omega_C$ , $O$, and $I$ are collinear. PS. You had better use hide for answers.
