There are two [i]allowed operations[/i] on a pair $(a, b)$ of positive integers:
[list=i]
[*]Add $1$ to both $a$ and $b$.
[*]If one of the numbers $a$ or $b$ is a perfect cube, replace it with its cube root.

An infinite fairytale is a book with pages numbered $1,2,3,\ldots$ where all natural numbers appear.
An author wants to write an infinite fairytale such that a new dwarf is introduced on each page. Afterward, the page contains several discussions between groups of at least two of the already introduced dwarfs. The publisher wants to make the book more exciting and thus requests the following condition:
Every infinite set of dwarfs contains a group of at least two dwarfs, who formed a discussion group at some point as well as a group of the same size for which this is not true.
Can the author fulfill this condition?

Let $\Delta_i$ be the triangle formed by the line passed through $X_i$ and perpendicular to $BC$, the line passed through $Y_i$ and perpendicular to $CA$, and the line passed through $Z_i$ and perpendicular to $AB$. Prove that the circumcircles of $\Delta_1$ and $\Delta_2$ are tangent.

Lucy starts by writing $s$ integer-valued $2022$-tuples on a blackboard. After doing that, she can take any two (not necessarily distinct) tuples $\mathbf{v}=(v_1,\ldots,v_{2022})$ and $\mathbf{w}=(w_1,\ldots,w_{2022})$ that she has already written, and apply one of the following operations to obtain a new tuple:
\begin{align*}
\mathbf{v}+\mathbf{w}&=(v_1+w_1,\ldots,v_{2022}+w_{2022}) \\
\mathbf{v} \lor \mathbf{w}&=(\max(v_1,w_1),\ldots,\max(v_{2022},w_{2022}))
\end{align*}
and then write this tuple on the blackboard.
It turns out that, in this way, Lucy can write any integer-valued $2022$-tuple on the blackboard after finitely many steps. What is the smallest possible number $s$ of tuples that she initially wrote?
