We say that a triangle $ABC$ is great if the following holds: for any point $D$ on the side $BC$, if $P$ and $Q$ are the feet of the perpendiculars from $D$ to the lines $AB$ and $AC$, respectively, then the reflection of $D$ in the line $PQ$ lies on the circumcircle of the triangle $ABC$. Prove that triangle $ABC$ is great if and only if $\angle A = 90^{\circ}$ and $AB = AC$. [i]Senior Problems Committee of the Australian Mathematical Olympiad Committee[/i]

Two players, Red and Blue, play in alternating turns on a 10x10 board. Blue goes first. In his turn, a player picks a row or column (not chosen by any player yet) and color all its squares with his own color. If any of these squares was already colored, the new color substitutes the old one. The game ends after 20 turns, when all rows and column were chosen. Red wins if the number of red squares in the board exceeds at least by 10 the number of blue squares; otherwise Blue wins. Determine which player has a winning strategy and describe this strategy.

Let us consider an infinite grid plane as shown below. We start with 4 points $A$, $B$, $C$, $D$, that form a square. We perform the following operation: We pick two points $X$ and $Y$ from the currant points. $X$ is reflected about $Y$ to get $X'$. We remove $X$ and add $X'$ to get a new set of 4 points and treat it as our currant points. For example in the figure suppose we choose $A$ and $B$ (we can choose any other pair too). Then reflect $A$ about $B$ to get $A'$. We remove $A$ and add $A'$. Thus $A'$, $B$, $C$, $D$ is our new 4 points. We may again choose $D$ and $A'$ from the currant points. Reflect $D$ about $A'$ to obtain $D'$ and hence $A'$, $B$, $C$, $D'$ are now new set of points. Then similar operation is performed on this new 4 points and so on. Starting with $A$, $B$, $C$, $D$ can you get a bigger square by some sequence of such operations?
