There are many triangles on a plane. Each is divided into four parts by two mutually perpendicular diameters. Each part is painted either red, yellow or blue. No matter how the circles are rotated in a plane, they are
different from one another. At most, how many circles are painted with all
three colours?

Are there any other ways to color the circle with two reds, a yellow and a blue?
Now you need to find out how many different three-color circles there are.

I wonder how you create these wonderful pictures. Yes, I can take it from here. I love your diagrams, honestly. How can I do that? What is the name of the software?
 
If you use Windows, the PAINT program is a standard.
Mac users need something like ClarisWorks. It has a paint program in it.
If you have never played with these, you ought do so.
BUT, be sure to save_as gif file. They are smaller and therefore load better.
There several free hosting sites.
