The circle $ \omega $ inscribed in triangle $ABC$ touches its sides $AB, BC, CA$ at points $K, L, M$ respectively. In the arc $KL$ of the circle $ \omega $ that does not contain the point $M$, we select point $S$. Denote by $P, Q, R, T$ the intersection points of straight $AS$ and $KM, ML$ and $SC, LP$ and $KQ, AQ$ and $PC$ respectively. It turned out that the points $R, S$ and $M$ are collinear. Prove that the point $T$ also lies on the line $SM$.

Let $N$ be a positive integer, and consider an $N \times N$ grid. A [i]right-down path[/i] is a sequence of grid cells such that each cell is either one cell to the right of or one cell below the previous cell in the sequence. A [i]right-up path[/i] is a sequence of grid cells such that each cell is either one cell to the right of or one cell above the previous cell in the sequence. Prove that the cells of the $N \times N$ grid cannot be partitioned into less than $N$ right-down or right-up paths. For example, the following partition of the $5 \times 5$ grid uses $5$ paths.

Dagan has a wooden cube. He paints each of the six faces a different color. He then cuts up the cube to get eight identically-sized smaller cubes, each of which now has three painted faces and three unpainted faces. He then puts the smaller cubes back together into one larger cube such that no unpainted face is visible. Compute the number of different cubes that Dagan can make this way. Two cubes are considered the same if one can be rotated to obtain the other. You may express your answer either as an integer or as a product of prime numbers.
