The incircle of triangle $ABC$ touches sides $BC$, $CA$, and $AB$ at $A'$, $B'$, and $C'$ respectively. $G$ is the intersection point of $AA '$, $BB'$ and $CC '$.

Show that the points $C_A$, $C_B$, $B_A$, $B_C$, $A_B$ and $A_C$ all lie on the same circle.

There are several right triangles. In each of them Xavi chooses a leg and adds all those lengths (one from each triangle). Kevin keeps the remaining legs and adds them up (one from each triangle). Finally, Juan finds the sum of the hypotenuses. We know that a right triangle can be made whose side lengths are the sums found by Xavi, Kevin, and Juan. Shows that the initial triangles were all similar.

Show that every worm of length $1$ can be covered by some semicircle of radius $\frac12$.

Note: the worm can be represented by a curve that can be closed or open and can also self-intersect.

original wording:
