Inside a circle of center $ O$ and radius $ r$, take two points $ A$ and $ B$ symmetrical about $ O$. We consider a variable point $ P$ on the circle and draw the chord $ \overline{PP'}\perp \overline{AP}$. Let $ C$ is the symmetric of $ B$ about $ \overline{PP'}$ ($ \overline{PP}'$ is the axis of symmetry) . Find the locus of point $ Q \equal{} \overline{PP'}\cap\overline{AC}$ when we change $ P$ in the circle.

16 NHL teams in the first playoff round divided in pairs and to play series until 4 wins (thus the series could finish with score 4-0, 4-1, 4-2, or 4-3). After that 8 winners of the series play the second playoff round divided into 4 pairs to play series until 4 wins, and so on. After all the final round is over, it happens that $k$ teams have non-negative balance of wins (for example, the team that won in the first round with a score of 4-2 and lost in the second with a score of 4-3 fits the condition: it has $4+3=7$ wins and $2+4=6$ losses). Find the least possible $k$.

Let $ R_1,R_2, \ldots$ be the family of finite sequences of positive integers defined by the following rules: $ R_1 \equal{} (1),$ and if $ R_{n - 1} \equal{} (x_1, \ldots, x_s),$ then \[ R_n \equal{} (1, 2, \ldots, x_1, 1, 2, \ldots, x_2, \ldots, 1, 2, \ldots, x_s, n).\] For example, $ R_2 \equal{} (1, 2),$ $ R_3 \equal{} (1, 1, 2, 3),$ $ R_4 \equal{} (1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4).$ Prove that if $ n > 1,$ then the $ k$th term from the left in $ R_n$ is equal to 1 if and only if the $ k$th term from the right in $ R_n$ is different from 1.
