Problem 3

  • Paper

Let △ABC\triangle A B C be an acute triangle. The lines l1,l2l_{1}, l_{2} are perpendicular to ABA B at the points A,BA, B respectively. The perpendicular lines from the midpoint MM of ABA B to the sides of the triangle AC,BCA C, B C intersect the lines l1,l2l_{1}, l_{2} at the points E,FE, F, respectively. If DD is the intersection point of EFE F and MCM C, prove that

∠ADB=∠EMF\angle A D B=\angle E M F

Problem 4

  • Paper
  • Answer

An LL-figure is one of the following four pieces, each consisting of three unit squares:

A 5×55 \times 5 board, consisting of 25 unit squares, a positive integer k≤25k \leq 25 and an unlimited supply LL-figures are given. Two players, A\boldsymbol{A} and B\boldsymbol{B}, play the following game: starting with A\boldsymbol{A} they alternatively mark a previously unmarked unit square until they marked a total of kk unit squares.

We say that a placement of LL-figures on unmarked unit squares is called good if the LL-figure do not overlap and each of them covers exactly three unmarked unit squares of the board. B\boldsymbol{B} wins if every good\boldsymbol{g o o d} placement of LL-figures leaves uncovered at least three unmarked unit squares. Determine the minimum value of kk for which B\boldsymbol{B} has a winning strategy.
