Consider acute $\triangle ABC$ with altitudes $AA_1, BB_1$ and $CC_1$ ($A_1 \in BC,B_1 \in AC,C_1 \in AB$). A point $C' $ on the extension of $B_1A_1$ beyond $A_1$ is such that $A_1C' = B_1C_1$. Analogously, a point $B'$ on the extension of A$_1C_1$ beyond $C_1$ is such that $C_1B' = A_1B_1$ and a point $A' $ on the extension of $C_1B_1$ beyond $B_1$ is such that $B_1A' = C_1A_1$. Denote by $A'', B'', C''$ the symmetric points of $A' , B' , C'$ with respect to $BC, CA$ and $AB$ respectively. Prove that if $R, R'$ and R'' are circumradiii of $\triangle ABC, \triangle A'B'C'$ and $\triangle A''B''C''$, then $R, R'$ and $R'' $ are sidelengths of a triangle with area equals one half of the area of $\triangle ABC$.

Call a right triangle $ABC$ [i]special [/i] if the lengths of its sides $AB, BC$ and$ CA$ are integers, and on each of these sides has some point $X$ (different from the vertices of $ \vartriangle ABC$), for which the lengths of the segments $AX, BX$ and $CX$ are integers numbers.

For a triangle $T = ABC$ we take the point $X$ on the side $(AB)$ such that $AX/AB=4/5$, the point $Y$ on the segment $(CX)$ such that $CY = 2YX$ and, if possible, the point $Z$ on the ray ($CA$ such that $\widehat{CXZ} = 180 - \widehat{ABC}$. We denote by $\Sigma$ the set of all triangles $T$ for which
$\widehat{XYZ} = 45$. Prove that all triangles from $\Sigma$ are similar and find the measure of their smallest angle.

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.

Let $ABC$ be a triangle, and let $DEF$ be another triangle inscribed in the incircle of $ABC$. If $s$ and $s_1$ denote the semiperimeters of $ABC$ and $DEF$ respectively, prove that $2s_1 \le s$. When does equality hold?

Let $N$ be a point inside the triangle $ABC$. Through the midpoints of the segments $AN, BN$, and $CN$ the lines parallel to the opposite sides of $\triangle ABC$ are constructed. Let $AN, BN$, and $CN$ be the intersection points of these lines. If $N$ is the orthocenter of the triangle $ABC$, prove that the nine-point circles of $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle A_NB_NC_N$ coincide.
[hide="Remark."]Remark. The statement of the original problem was that the nine-point circles of the triangles $A_NB_NC_N$ and $A_MB_MC_M$ coincide, where $N$ and $M$ are the orthocenter and the centroid of $ABC$. This statement is false.[/hide]

Let $A_r,B_r, C_r$ be points on the circumference of a given circle $S$. From the triangle $A_rB_rC_r$, called $\Delta_r$, the triangle $\Delta_{r+1}$ is obtained by constructing the points $A_{r+1},B_{r+1}, C_{r+1} $on $S$ such that $A_{r+1}A_r$ is parallel to $B_rC_r$, $B_{r+1}B_r$ is parallel to $C_rA_r$, and $C_{r+1}C_r$ is parallel to $A_rB_r$. Each angle of $\Delta_1$ is an integer number of degrees and those integers are not multiples of $45$. Prove that at least two of the triangles $\Delta_1,\Delta_2, \ldots ,\Delta_{15}$ are congruent.
