Given a billiard in the form of a regular $1998$-gon $A_1A_2...A_{1998}$. A ball was released from the midpoint of side $A_1A_2$, which, reflected therefore from sides $A_2A_3$, $A_3A_4$, . . . , $A_{1998}A_1$ (according to the law, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection), returned to the starting point. Prove that the trajectory of the ball is a regular $1998$-gon.

Ukrainian TYM Qualifying - geometry, III.11

A circle centered at point $O$ is separated by points $A_1,A_2,...,A_n$ on $n$ equal parts (points are listed sequentially clockwise) and the rays $OA_1,OA_2,...,OA_n$ are constructed. The angle $A_2OA_3$ is divided by rays into two equal angles at vertex $O$, the angle $A_3OA_4$ is divided into three equal angles, and so on, finally, the angle $A_nOA_1$ divided into $n$ equal angles at vertex $O$. A point belonging to the ray other than $OA_1$, is connected by a segment with its orthogonal projection $B_0$ on the neighboring (clockwise) arrow) with ray $OA_1$, point$ B_1$ is connected by a segment with its orthogonal projection on the next (clockwise) ray, etc. As a result of such process it turns out the broken line $B_0B_1B_2B_3...$ infinitely "twists". Consider the question of giving the thus obtained broken numerical value of "length" $L (n)$ and explore the value of $L(n)$ depending on $n$.

2019 Istmo Centroamericano MO, 5

Gabriel plays to draw triangles using the vertices of a regular polygon with $2019$ sides, following these rules: (i) The vertices used by each triangle must not have been previously used. (ii) The sides of the triangle to be drawn must not intersect with the sides of the triangles previously drawn. If Gabriel continues to draw triangles until it is no longer possible, determine the minimum number of triangles that he drew.

2022 Paraguay Mathematical Olympiad, 2

Santiago, Daniel and Fátima practice for the Math Olympics. Santiago thinks of a regular polygon and Daniel of another, without telling Fatima what the polygons are. They just tell you that one of the polygons has $3$ more sides than the other and that an angle of one of the polygons measures $10$ degrees more than one angle of the other. From this, and knowing that each interior angle of a regular polygon of $n$ sides measures $\frac{180(n-2)}{n}$ degrees, Fatima identifies what the polygons are. How many sides do the polygons that James and Daniel chose, have?

Let $P$ is a regular $(2n+1)$-gon in the plane, where $n$ is a positive integer. We say that a point $S$ on one of the sides of $P$ can be seen from a point $E$ that is external to $P$ , if the line segment $\overline{ES}$ contains no other points that lie on the sides of $P$ except $S$ . We want to color the sides of $P$ in $3$ colors, such that every side is colored in exactly one color, and each color must be used at least once. Moreover, from every point in the plane external to $P$ , at most $2$ different colors on $P$ can be seen (ignore the vertices of $P$ , we consider them colorless). Find the largest positive integer $n$ for which such a coloring is possible.
