Consider an isosceles triangle $ABC$ with side lengths $AB = AC = 10\sqrt{2}$ and $BC =10\sqrt{3}$. Construct semicircles $P$, $Q$, and $R$ with diameters $AB$, $AC$, $BC$ respectively, such that the plane of each semicircle is perpendicular to the plane of $ABC$, and all semicircles are on the same side of plane $ABC$ as shown. There exists a plane above triangle $ABC$ that is tangent to all three semicircles $P$, $Q$, $R$ at the points $D$, $E$, and $F$ respectively, as shown in the diagram. Calculate, with proof, the area of triangle $DEF$.

Julián chooses $2007$ points of the plane between which there are no $3$ aligned, and draw with red all the segments that join two of those points. Next, Roberto draws several lines. Its objective is for each red segment to be cut inside by (at least) one of the lines. Determine the minor $\ell$ lines such that, no matter how Julián chooses the $2007$ points, with the properly chosen $\ell$ lines, Roberto will achieve his objective with certainty.

Susana and Brenda play a game writing polynomials on the board. Susana starts and they play taking turns. 1) On the preparatory turn (turn 0), Susana choose a positive integer $n_0$ and writes the polynomial $P_0(x)=n_0$. 2) On turn 1, Brenda choose a positive integer $n_1$, different from $n_0$, and either writes the polynomial $$P_1(x)=n_1x+P_0(x) \textup{ or } P_1(x)=n_1x-P_0(x)$$ 3) In general, on turn $k$, the respective player chooses an integer $n_k$, different from $n_0, n_1, \ldots, n_{k-1}$, and either writes the polynomial $$P_k(x)=n_kx^k+P_{k-1}(x) \textup{ or } P_k(x)=n_kx^k-P_{k-1}(x)$$ The first player to write a polynomial with at least one whole whole number root wins. Find and describe a winning strategy.
