Let $G$ be the set of points $(x, y)$ such that $x$ and $y$ are positive integers less than or equal to 6. A [i]magic grid[/i] is an assignment of an integer to each point in $G$ such that, for every square with horizontal and vertical sides and all four vertices in $G$, the sum of the integers assigned to the four vertices is the same as the corresponding sum for any other such square. A magic grid is formed so that the product of all 36 integers is the smallest possible value greater than 1. What is this product?

(a)Two circles $S_1$ and $S_2$ are placed so that they do not overlap each other, neither completely nor partially. They have centres in $O_1$ and $O_2$, respectively. Further, $L_1$ and $M_1$ are different points on $S_1$ so that $O_2L_1$ and $O_2M_1$ are tangent to $S_1$, and similarly $L_2$ and $M_2$ are different points on $S_2$ so that $O_1L_2$ and $O_1M_2$ are tangent to $S_2$.
