Let $\Gamma$ be a circle and let $d$ be a line such that $\Gamma$ and $d$ have no common points. Further, let $AB$ be a diameter of the circle $\Gamma$; assume that this diameter $AB$ is perpendicular to the line $d$, and the point $B$ is nearer to the line $d$ than the point $A$. Let $C$ be an arbitrary point on the circle $\Gamma$, different from the points $A$ and $B$. Let $D$ be the point of intersection of the lines $AC$ and $d$. One of the two tangents from the point $D$ to the circle $\Gamma$ touches this circle $\Gamma$ at a point $E$; hereby, we assume that the points $B$ and $E$ lie in the same halfplane with respect to the line $AC$. Denote by $F$ the point of intersection of the lines $BE$ and $d$. Let the line $AF$ intersect the circle $\Gamma$ at a point $G$, different from $A$.
Prove that the reflection of the point $G$ in the line $AB$ lies on the line $CF$.

There are $n$ fleas on an infinite sheet of triangulated paper. Initially the fleas are in different small triangles, all of which are inside some equilateral triangle consisting of $n^2$ small triangles. Once a second each flea jumps from its original triangle to one of the three small triangles having a common vertex but no common side with it. For which natural numbers $n$ does there exist an initial configuration such that after a finite number of jumps all the $n$ fleas can meet in a single small triangle?

Square $ABCD$ in the coordinate plane has vertices at the points $A(1,1), B(-1,1), C(-1,-1),$ and $D(1,-1).$ Consider the following four transformations:
[list=]
[*]$L,$ a rotation of $90^{\circ}$ counterclockwise around the origin;
[*]$R,$ a rotation of $90^{\circ}$ clockwise around the origin;
[*]$H,$ a reflection across the $x$-axis; and
[*]$V,$ a reflection across the $y$-axis.
[/list]
Each of these transformations maps the squares onto itself, but the positions of the labeled vertices will change. For example, applying $R$ and then $V$ would send the vertex $A$ at $(1,1)$ to $(-1,-1)$ and would send the vertex $B$ at $(-1,1)$ to itself. How many sequences of $20$ transformations chosen from $\{L, R, H, V\}$ will send all of the labeled vertices back to their original positions? (For example, $R, R, V, H$ is one sequence of $4$ transformations that will send the vertices back to their original positions.)

The Evil League of Evil is plotting to poison the city's water supply. They plan to set out from their headquarters at $(5, 1)$ and put poison in two pipes, one along the line $y=x$ and one along the line $x=7$. However, they need to get the job done quickly before Captain Hammer catches them. What's the shortest distance they can travel to visit both pipes and then return to their headquarters?
