A circle is inscribed in an angle with vertex $O$, touching its sides at points $M$ and $N$. On an arc $MN$ nearest to point $O$, an arbitrary point $P$ is selected. At point $P$, a tangent is drawn to the circle $P$, intersecting the sides of the angle at points $A$ and $B$. Prove that that the length of the segment $AB$ is the smallest when $P$ is its midpoint.

We will say that an octagon is integral if its is equiangular, its vertices are lattice points (i.e., points with integer coordinates), and its area is an integer. For example, the figure on the right shows an integral octagon of area $21$. Determine, with proof, the smallest positive integer $K$ so that for every positive integer $k\geq K$, there is an integral octagon of area $k$.

Don Miguel places a token in one of the $(n+1)^2$ vertices determined by an $n \times n$ board. A [i]move[/i] consists of moving the token from the vertex on which it is placed to an adjacent vertex which is at most $\sqrt2$ away, as long as it stays on the board. A [i]path[/i] is a sequence of moves such that the token was in each one of the $(n+1)^2$ vertices exactly once. What is the maximum number of diagonal moves (those of length $\sqrt2$) that a path can have in total?

For each positive integer $k \le n$, let $A_k$ be the set of all those people in KAUST who can speak at least $k$ languages; and let $B_k$ be the set of all people $P$ in KAUST with the property that, for any $k$ pairwise different languages (used in KAUST), $P$ can speak at least one of these $k$ languages.
