In triangle $ABC$, draw exterior equilateral triangles on sides $AB$ and $AC$ to obtain $ABB'$ and $ACC'$, respectively. Let $X$ be the intersection of the altitude through $B$ and the median through $C$. Let $Y$ be the intersection of the altitude through $A$ and line $CC'$. Let $Z$ be the intersection of the median through $A$ and the line $BB'$. Prove that $X$, $Y$, and $Z$ all lie on a line.

Let $\triangle ABC$ be a triangle inscribed in a circle, where the tangents to the circle at points $B$ and $C$ intersect at the point $P$. Let $M$ be a point on the arc $AC$ (not containing $B$) such that $M \neq A$ and $M \neq C$. Let the lines $BC$ and $AM$ intersect at point $K$. Let $P'$ be the reflection of $P$ with respect to the line $AM$. The lines $AP'$ and $PM$ intersect at point $Q$, and $PM$ intersects the circumcircle of $\triangle ABC$ again at point $N$.

Prove that the point $Q$ lies on the circumcircle of $\triangle ANK$.

A quadruple $(a; b; c; d)$ of positive integers with $a \leq b \leq c \leq d$ is called good if we can colour each integer red, blue, green or purple, in such a way that
$i$ of each $a$ consecutive integers at least one is coloured red;
$ii$ of each $b$ consecutive integers at least one is coloured blue;
$iii$ of each $c$ consecutive integers at least one is coloured green;
$iiii$ of each $d$ consecutive integers at least one is coloured purple.
Determine all good quadruples with $a = 2.$

Source: IMO 1982, Day 2, Problem 6
Let $S$ be a square with sides length $100$. Let $L$ be a path within $S$ which does not meet itself and which is composed of line segments $A_0A_1,A_1A_2,A_2A_3,\ldots,A_{n-1}A_n$ with $A_0=A_n$. Suppose that for every point $P$ on the boundary of $S$ there is a point of $L$ at a distance from $P$ no greater than $\frac {1} {2}$. Prove that there are two points $X$ and $Y$ of $L$ such that the distance between $X$ and $Y$ is not greater than $1$ and the length of the part of $L$ which lies between $X$ and $Y$ is not smaller than $198$.

Let $AD=x$. $BD=1-x$. Quick calculation gives $BF_1=\dfrac{1-x}{4}$ and $AE_1=\dfrac{x}{4}$. Thus $E_1F_1=3/4$.
