The rooms of a building are arranged in a $m\times n$ rectangular grid (as shown below for the $5\times 6$ case). Every room is connected by an open door to each adjacent room, but the only access to or from the building is by a door in the top right room. This door is locked with an elaborate system of $mn$ keys, one of which is located in every room of the building. A person is in the bottom left room and can move from there to any adjacent room. However, as soon as the person leaves a room, all the doors of that room are instantly and automatically locked. Find, with proof, all $m$ and $n$ for which it is possible for the person to collect all the keys and escape the building.

Let $r_A,r_B,r_C$ rays from point $P$. Define circles $w_A,w_B,w_C$ with centers $X,Y,Z$ such that $w_a$ is tangent to $r_B,r_C , w_B$ is tangent to $r_A, r_C$ and $w_C$ is tangent to $r_A,r_B$. Suppose $P$ lies inside triangle $XYZ$, and let $s_A,s_B,s_C$ be the internal tangents to circles $w_B$ and $w_C$; $w_A$ and $w_C$; $w_A$ and $w_B$ that do not contain rays $r_A,r_B,r_C$ respectively. Prove that $s_A, s_B, s_C$ concur at a point $Q$, and also that $P$ and $Q$ are isotomic conjugates.

Let $ABC$ be an acute-angled triangle with $AB<AC$, and let $O,H$ be its circumcentre and orthocentre respectively. Points $Z,Y$ lie on segments $AB,AC$ respectively, such that \[\angle ZOB=\angle YOC = 90^{\circ}.\] The perpendicular line from $H$ to line $YZ$ meets lines $BO$ and $CO$ at $Q,R$ respectively. Let the tangents to the circumcircle of $\triangle AYZ$ at points $Y$ and $Z$ meet at point $T$. Prove that $Q, R, O, T$ are concyclic.
