Vera has several identical matches, from which she makes a triangle. Vera wants any two sides of this triangle to differ in length by at least 1010 matches, but it turned out that it is impossible to add such a triangle from the available matches (it is impossible to leave extra matches). What is the maximum number of matches Vera can have?

The diagonals of the convex quadrilateral ABCDABCD intersect at the point OO. The points XX and YY are symmetrical to the point OO with respect to the midpoints of the sides BCBC and ADAD, respectively. It is known that AB=BC=CDAB = BC = CD. Prove that the point of intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of the diagonals of the quadrilateral lies on the line XYXY.

Altitudes AA1AA_1 and CC1CC_1 of an acute-angled triangle ABCABC intersect at point HH. A straight line passing through point HH parallel to line A1C1A_1C_1 intersects the circumscribed circles of triangles AHC1AHC_1 and CHA1CHA_1 at points XX and YY, respectively. Prove that points XX and YY are equidistant from the midpoint of segment BHBH.
