Fox 285 - Solution

Bleaug constructs:
Here is a geometric construction (i.e. compass and ruler) of an inscribed triangle with required property for any angle from 0 to 40°:
1- take any point b on AB and build point c such as angle(Abc)=2α
2- build a inside ABC such as abc is equilateral
3- build O such that angle(Oca)=angle(Oba)=α
4- build P intersection of AO and BC
5- build PQR homothetic to Obc

PQR is such that angle(BPQ)=α, angle (AQR)=2α, angle(CRP)=3α
