A set of lines in the plan is called [i]nice [/i]i f every line in the set intersects an odd number of other lines in the set. Determine the smallest integer $k \ge 0$ having the following property: for each $2018$ distinct lines $\ell_1, \ell_2, ..., \ell_{2018}$ in the plane, there exist lines $\ell_{2018+1},\ell_{2018+2}, . . . , \ell_{2018+k}$ such that the lines $\ell_1, \ell_2, ..., \ell_{2018+k}$ are distinct and form a [i]nice [/i] set.

The circle $\omega$ with center at point $I$ inscribed in an triangle $ABC$ ($AB\neq AC$) touches the sides $BC$, $CA$ and $AB$ at points $D$, $E$ and $F$, respectively. The circumcircles of triangles $ABC$ and $AEF$ intersect secondary at point $K.$ The lines $EF$ and $AK$ intersect at point $X$ and intersects the line $BC$ at points $Y$ and $Z$, respectively.

Each number of the set $\{1,2, 3,4,5,6, 7,8\}$ is colored red or blue, following the following rules: (a) Number $4$ is colored red, and there is at least one blue number, (b) if two numbers $x,y$ have different colors and $x + y \le 8$, so the number $x + y$ is colored blue, (c) if two numbers $x,y$ have different colors and $x \cdot y \le 8$, then the number $x \cdot y$ is colored red. Find all the possible ways to color this set.

Let $\triangle A_1B_1C_1$ be an equilateral triangle of area $60$. Chloe constructs a new triangle $\triangle A_2B_2C_2$ as follows. First, she flips a coin. If it comes up heads, she constructs point $A_2$ such that $B_1$ is the midpoint of $\overline{A_2C_1}$. If it comes up tails, she instead constructs $A_2$ such that $C_1$ is the midpoint of $\overline{A_2B_1}$. She performs analogous operations on $B_2$ and $C_2$. What is the expected value of the area of $\triangle A_2B_2C_2$?
