102th Kürschák Competition 2002

------
1.  ABC is an acute-angled non-isosceles triangle. H is the orthocenter, I is the incenter and O is the circumcenter. Show that if one of the vertices lies on the circle through H, I and O, then at least two vertices lie on it.
2.  The Fibonacci numbers are defined by F1 = F2 = 1, Fn = Fn-1 + Fn-2. Suppose that a rational a/b belongs to the open interval (Fn/Fn-1, Fn+1/Fn). Prove that b ≥ Fn+1.
3.  S is a convex 3n gon. Show that we can choose a set of triangles, such that the edges of each triangle are sides or diagonals of S, and every side or diagonal of S belongs to just one triangle.

The original problems are in Hungarian. Many thanks to Péter Dombi for the translation.
