Triangle $ABC$ has angle $A$ measuring $30^\circ$, angle $B$ measuring $60^\circ$, and angle $C$ measuring $90^\circ$. Show four different ways to divide triangle $ABC$ into four triangles, each similar to triangle $ABC$, but with one quarter of the area. Prove that the angles and sizes of the smaller triangles are correct.

2018 Taiwan TST Round 3, 1

Let $ p \geq 2$ be a prime number. Eduardo and Fernando play the following game making moves alternately: in each move, the current player chooses an index $i$ in the set $\{0,1,2,\ldots, p-1 \}$ that was not chosen before by either of the two players and then chooses an element $a_i$ from the set $\{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9\}$. Eduardo has the first move. The game ends after all the indices have been chosen .Then the following number is computed: $$M=a_0+a_110+a_210^2+\cdots+a_{p-1}10^{p-1}= \sum_{i=0}^{p-1}a_i.10^i$$. The goal of Eduardo is to make $M$ divisible by $p$, and the goal of Fernando is to prevent this. Prove that Eduardo has a winning strategy. [i]Proposed by Amine Natik, Morocco[/i]

The vertices of a triangle have coordinates $(x_1,y_1)$, $(x_2,y_2)$ and $(x_3,y_3)$. For any integers $h$ and $k$, not both 0, both triangles whose vertices have coordinates $(x_1+h,y_1+k),(x_2+h,y_2+k)$ and $(x_3+h,y_3+k)$ has no common interior points with the original triangle. (a) Is it possible for the area of this triangle to be greater than $\tfrac{1}{2}$? (b) What is the maximum area of this triangle?

Let $ABC$ be a triangle, let $O$ be its circumcenter, and let $H$ be its orthocenter. Let $P$ be a point on the segment $OH$. Prove that $6r\leq PA+PB+PC\leq 3R$, where $r$ is the inradius and $R$ the circumradius of triangle $ABC$. [b]Moderator edit:[/b] This is true only if the point $P$ lies inside the triangle $ABC$. (Of course, this is always fulfilled if triangle $ABC$ is acute-angled, since in this case the segment $OH$ completely lies inside the triangle $ABC$; but if triangle $ABC$ is obtuse-angled, then the condition about $P$ lying inside the triangle $ABC$ is really necessary.)

At one moment each friend released his dog to run freely forward, the speed of each dog is the same and constant. Each dog reached the other person and then returned to its owner. Which dog returned to its owner the first, of the person who walks fast or who walks slow?

Ana and Bruno have an $8 \times 8$ checkered board. Ana paints each of the $64$ squares with some color. Then Bruno chooses two rows and two columns on the board and looks at the $4$ squares where they intersect. Bruno's goal is for these $4$ squares to be the same color. How many colors, at least, must Ana use so that Bruno can't fulfill his objective? Show how you can paint the board with this amount of colors and explain because if you use less colors then Bruno can always fulfill his goal.
