In the triangle , the excircle opposite to the vertex with centre touches the side BC at D. (The circle also
touches the sides of , extended.) Let be the midpoint of and the midpoint of . Prove that
are collinear.

Find, with justification, all positive real numbers satisfying the system of equations:

Some blue and red circular disks of identical size are packed together to form a triangle. The top level has one disk and
each level has 1 more disk than the level above it. Each disk not at the bottom level touches two disks below it and its
colour is blue if these two disks are of the same colour. Otherwise its colour is red.

Suppose the bottom level has 2048 disks of which 2014 are red. What is the colour of the disk at the top?
