A point $A_0$ and two lines $d_1$ and $d_2$ are given in the space. For each nonnegative integer $n$ we denote by $B_n$ the projection of $A_n$ on $d_2,$ and by $A_{n+1}$ the projection of $B_n$ on $d_1.$ Prove that there exist two segments $[A'A''] \subset d_1$ and $[B'B''] \subset d_2$ of length $0.001$ and a nonnegative integer $N$ such that $A_n \in [A'A'']$ and $B_n \in [B'B'']$ for any $n \ge N.$
A square is divided into rectangles.
A "chain" is a subset $K$ of the set of these rectangles such that there exists a side of the square which is covered by projections of rectangles of $K$ and such that no point of this side is a projection of two inner points of two inner points of two different rectangles of $K$.
(a) Prove that every two rectangles in such a division are members of a certain "chain".
(b) Solve the similar problem for a cube, divided into rectangular parallelopipeds (in the definition of chain , replace "side" by"edge") .

Let $ABCD$ be a tetrahedron. Let $a$ be the length of $AB$ and let $S$ be the area of the projection of the tetrahedron onto a plane perpendicular to $AB$. Determine the volume of the tetrahedron in terms of $a$ and $S$.
Let $ ABC $ be a triangle, $ M_A $ be the midpoint of the side $ BC, $ and $ P_A $ be the orthogonal projection of $ A $ on $ BC. $ Similarly, define $ M_B,M_C,P_B,P_C. M_BM_C $ intersects $ P_BP_C $ at $ S_A, $ and the tangent of the circumcircle of $ ABC $ at $ A $ meets $ BC $ at $ T_A. $ Similarly, define $ S_B,S_C,T_B,T_C. $
Show that the perpendiculars through $ A,B,C, $ to $ S_AT_A,S_BT_B, $ respectively, $ S_CT_C, $ are concurent.

Let $P$ be a point in the plane of a triangle $ABC$, different from its circumcenter. Prove that the triangle whose vertices are the projections of $P$ on the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of $ABC$, is similar to $ABC$.
The center of the circumcircle of the acute triangle $ABC$ is $O$. The line $AO$ intersects $BC$ at $D$. On the sides $AB$ and $AC$ of the triangle, choose points $E$ and $F$, respectively, so that the points $A, E, D, F$ lie on the same circle. Let $E'$ and $F'$ projections of points $E$ and $F$ on side $BC$ respectively. Prove that length of the segment $E'F'$ does not depend on the position of points $E$ and $F$.
Let $ABC$ be a triangle with two isogonal points $ P$ and $Q$ . Let $D, E$ be the projection of $P$ on $AB$, $AC$. $G$ is the projection of $Q$ on $BC$. $U$ is the projection of $G$ on $DE$, $ L$ is the projection of $P$ on $AQ$, $K$ is the symmetric of $L$ wrt $UG$.
Prove that $UK$ passes through a fixed point when $P$ and $Q$ vary.
Let $\,S\,$ be a finite set of points in three-dimensional space. Let $\,S_{x},\,S_{y},\,S_{z}\,$ be the sets consisting of the orthogonal projections of the points of $\,S\,$ onto the $yz$-plane, $zx$-plane, $xy$-plane, respectively. Prove that \[ \vert S\vert^{2}\leq \vert S_{x} \vert \cdot \vert S_{y} \vert \cdot \vert S_{z} \vert, \] where $\vert A \vert$ denotes the number of elements in the finite set $A$.
