The Lucas numbers $L_n$ are defined recursively as follows: $L_0=2,L_1=1,L_n=L_{n-1}+L_{n-2}$ for $n\geq2$. Let $r=0.21347\dots$, whose digits form the pattern of the Lucas numbers. When the numbers have multiple digits, they will "overlap," so $r=0.2134830\dots$, [b]not[/b] $0.213471118\dots$. Express $r$ as a rational number $\frac{p}{q}$, where $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime.

The Knights of the Round Table are gathering. Around the table are $34 $ chairs, numbered from 1 to $34$. When everyone has sat down, it turns out that between every two knights there is a maximum of $r$ places, which can be either empty or occupied by another knight.
(a) For each $r \le 15$, determine the maximum number of knights present.
(b) Determine for each $r \le 15$ how many sets of occupied seats there are that match meet the given and where the maximum number of knights is present.

Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle inscribed in a circle $(O)$ that is fixed, and two of the vertices $B$, $C$ are fixed while vertex $A$ varies on the circumference of the circle. Let $I$ be the center of the incircle, and $AD$ the angle bisector. Let $K$, $L$ be the circumcenters of $CAD$, $ABD$. A line through $O$ parallel to $DL$, $DK$ intersects the line that is through $I$ perpendicular to $IB$, $IC$ at $M$, $N$ respectively. Prove that $MN$ is tangent to a fixed circle when $A$ varies on the circle $(O)$.

Consider a $m\times n$ rectangular board consisting of $mn$ unit squares. Two of its unit squares are called [i]adjacent[/i] if they have a common edge, and a [i]path[/i] is a sequence of unit squares in which any two consecutive squares are adjacent. Two parths are called [i]non-intersecting[/i] if they don't share any common squares.
Each unit square of the rectangular board can be colored black or white. We speak of a [i]coloring[/i] of the board if all its $mn$ unit squares are colored.
Let $N$ be the number of colorings of the board such that there exists at least one black path from the left edge of the board to its right edge. Let $M$ be the number of colorings of the board for which there exist at least two non-intersecting black paths from the left edge of the board to its right edge.
Prove that $N^{2}\geq M\cdot 2^{mn}$.
