In the cells of the $4\times N$ table, integers are written, modulo no more than $2024$ (i.e. numbers from the set $\{-2024, -2023,\dots , -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3,\dots , 2024\}$) so that in each of the four lines there are no two equal numbers. At what maximum $N$ could it turn out that in each column the sum of the numbers is equal to $23$?

Let $ABC$ be an obtuse triangle, and let $H$ denote its orthocenter. Let $\omega_A$ denote the circle with center $A$ and radius $AH$. Let $\omega_B$ and $\omega_C$ be defined in a similar way. For all points $X$ in the plane of triangle $ABC$ let circle $\Omega(X)$ be defined in the following way (if possible): take the polars of point $X$ with respect to circles $\omega_A$, $\omega_B$ and $\omega_C$, and let $\Omega(X)$ be the circumcircle of the triangle defined by these three lines.
With a possible exception of finitely many points find the locus of points $X$ for which point $X$ lies on circle $\Omega(X)$.

Sheldon was really annoying Leonard. So to keep him quiet, Leonard decided to do something. He gave Sheldon the following grid
$\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 0\\
\hline
1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0\\
\hline
1 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0\\
\hline
1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1\\
\hline
1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0\\
\hline
0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0\\
\hline
\end{tabular}$
and asked him to transform it to the new grid below
$\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
1 & 2 & 18 &24 &28 &30\\
\hline
21 & 3 & 4 &16 &22 &26\\
\hline
23 &19 & 5 & 6 &14 &20\\
\hline
32 &25 &17 & 7 & 8 &12\\
\hline
33 &34 &27 &15 & 9 &10\\
\hline
35 &31 &36 &29 &13 &11\\
\hline
\end{tabular}$
by only applying the following algorithm:
$\bullet$ At each step, Sheldon must choose either two rows or two columns.
$\bullet$ For two columns $c_1, c_2$, if $a,b$ are entries in $c_1, c_2$ respectively, then we say that $a$ and $b$ are corresponding if they belong to the same row. Similarly we define corresponding entries of two rows. So for Sheldon's choice, if two corresponding entries have the same parity, he should do nothing to them, but if they have different parities, he should add 1 to both of them.
Leonard hoped this would keep Sheldon occupied for some time, but Sheldon immediately said, "But this is impossible!". Was Sheldon right? Justify.

Let function $f : \mathbb Z_{\geq 0}^0 \to \mathbb N$ satisfy the following conditions:
(i) $ f(0, 0, 0) = 1;$
(ii) $f(x, y, z) = f(x - 1, y, z) + f(x, y - 1, z) + f(x, y, z - 1);$
(iii) when applying above relation iteratively, if any of $x', y', z$' is negative, then $f(x', y', z') = 0.$

Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices $V_1,V_2,\dots, V_n$ and let $P_1,P_2, \dots, P_n$ be points in the plane. Suppose that, whenever $V_i$ and $V_j$ are connected by an edge, $P_iP_j$ has length $1$; in this situation, we say that the $P_i$ form an [i]embedding[/i] of $G$ in the plane. Consider a set $S\subseteq \{1,2,\dots, n\}$ and a configuration of points $Q_i$ for each $i\in S$. If the number of embeddings of $G$ such that $P_i=Q_i$ for each $i\in S$ is finite and nonzero, we say that $S$ is a [i]tasty[/i] set. Out of all tasty sets $S$, we define a function $f(G)$ to be the smallest size of a tasty set. Let $T$ be the set of all connected graphs on $n$ vertices with $n-1$ edges. Choosing $G$ uniformly and at random from $T$, let $a_n$ be the expected value of $\frac{f(G)^2}{n^2}$. Compute $\left\lfloor 2019 \displaystyle\lim_{n\to \infty} a_n \right\rfloor$.
