Elmo is drawing with colored chalk on a sidewalk outside. He first marks a set $S$ of $n>1$ collinear points. Then, for every unordered pair of points $\{X,Y\}$ in $S$, Elmo draws the circle with diameter $XY$ so that each pair of circles which intersect at two distinct points are drawn in different colors. Count von Count then wishes to count the number of colors Elmo used. In terms of $n$, what is the minimum number of colors Elmo could have used? [i]Michael Ren[/i]

In the country of Drilandia, which has at least three cities, there are bidirectional roads connecting some pairs of cities such that any city can be reached from any other. Two cities are called [i]close[/i] if one can reach the other by using at most two intermediary cities. The mayor, Drilago, fortified the road system by building a direct road between each pair of close cities that were not already connected. Prove that after the expansion, there exists a journey that starts and ends at the same city, where each city except the first is visited exactly once, and the first city is visited twice (once at the beginning and once at the end).
