The ceiling lamp
A regular octagon with two diagonals and a square. Prove that the four red points are concyclic.
Seeing double II
A right triangle is divided in two triangles by an altitude. The three incircles are shown with three tangency points. Prove that the two red line segments are congruent.
Peeping out II
A unit square and a rectangle touching three square sides and passing through the midpoint of the upper side. What is the minimal blue area?
Blue convergence
Points B, C, D are on a circle with centre O and diameter COC’. Point E is on the line BC such that DE is perpendicular to COC’. Show that the perpendicular bisectors of EB and ED and the line DC’ are concurrent.
The open roof
A regular hexagon with two line segments at right angles. What is the minimum of yellow : red?
Highway confusion
