Given a rectangle $A_1A_2A_3A_4$. Four circles with $A_i$ as their centres have their radiuses $r_1, r_2, r_3, r_4$; and $r_1+r_3=r_2+r_4<d$, where d is a diagonal of the rectangle. Two pairs of the outer common tangents to {the first and the third} and {the second and the fourth} circumferences make a quadrangle. Prove that you can inscribe a circle into that quadrangle.

Let $N$ be the number of sequences of words (not necessarily grammatically correct) that have the property that the first word has one letter, each word can be obtained by inserting a letter somewhere in the previous word, and the final word is CCAMATHBONANZA. Here is an example of a possible sequence: [center] N, NA, NZA, BNZA, BNAZA, BONAZA, BONANZA, CBONANZA, CABONANZA, CAMBONANZA, CAMABONANZA, CAMAHBONANZA, CCAMAHBONANZA, CCAMATHBONANZA. [/center] Estimate $\frac{N}{12!}$. An estimate of $E>0$ earns $\max(0,4-2\max(A/E,E/A))$ points, where $A$ is the actual answer. An estimate of $E=0$ earns $0$ points.

Given an $8 \times 8$ chess board. Each knight is allowed to move between two squares located at opposite vertices of $2 \times 3$ or $3 \times 2$ rectangles. There are four knights that move on the board, evenly start from the same cell $X$ and return to $X$ and then stop. Assume that every square on the chessboard has at least one of these four roosters moving through. Prove that there exists a square $Y$ that is different from $X$ such that it is moved over no less than twice by the same knight or by different knights.
