Dexter is running a pyramid scheme. In Dexter's scheme, he hires ambassadors for his company, Lie Ultimate. Any ambassador for his company can recruit up to two more ambassadors (who are not already ambassadors), who can in turn recruit up to two more ambassadors each, and so on (Dexter is a special ambassador that can recruit as many ambassadors as he would like). An ambassador's downline consists of the people they recruited directly as well as the downlines of those people. An ambassador earns executive status if they recruit two new people and each of those people has at least $70$ people in their downline (Dexter is not considered an executive). If there are $2020$ ambassadors (including Dexter) at Lie Ultimate, what is the maximum number of ambassadors with executive status?

Solve for integers $x,y,z$: \[ \{ \begin{array}{ccc} x + y &=& 1 - z \\ x^3 + y^3 &=& 1 - z^2 . \end{array} \]

Two straight lines $p, q$ are given in the plane and on the straight line $q$ there is a point $F$, $F \not\in p$. Determine the set of all points $X$ that can be obtained by this construction: In the plane we choose a point $S$ that lies neither on $p$ nor on $q$, and we construct a circle $k$ with center $S$ that is tangent to the line $p$. On the circle $k$ we choose a point $T$ such that so that $ST \parallel q$. If the line $FT$ intersects the line $p$ at the point $U$, $X$ is the intersection of the lines $SU$ and $q$
