Four lighthouses are located at points $ A$, $ B$, $ C$, and $ D$. The lighthouse at $ A$ is $ 5$ kilometers from the lighthouse at $ B$, the lighthouse at $ B$ is $ 12$ kilometers from the lighthouse at $ C$, and the lighthouse at $ A$ is $ 13$ kilometers from the lighthouse at $ C$. To an observer at $ A$, the angle determined by the lights at $ B$ and $ D$ and the angle determined by the lights at $ C$ and $ D$ are equal. To an observer at $ C$, the angle determined by the lights at $ A$ and $ B$ and the angle determined by the lights at $ D$ and $ B$ are equal. The number of kilometers from $ A$ to $ D$ is given by $ \displaystyle\frac{p\sqrt{r}}{q}$, where $ p$, $ q$, and $ r$ are relatively prime positive integers, and $ r$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $ p\plus{}q\plus{}r$,

The positive integer $k$ and the set $A$ of distinct integers from $1$ to $3k$ inclusively are such that there are no distinct $a$, $b$, $c$ in $A$ satisfying $2b = a + c$. The numbers from $A$ in the interval $[1, k]$ will be called [i]small[/i]; those in $[k + 1, 2k]$ - [i]medium[/i] and those in $[2k + 1, 3k]$ - [i]large[/i]. It is always true that there are [b]no[/b] positive integers $x$ and $d$ such that if $x$, $x + d$, and $x + 2d$ are divided by $3k$ then the remainders belong to $A$ and those of $x$ and $x + d$ are different and are:
a) small? $\hspace{1.5px}$ b) medium? $\hspace{1.5px}$ c) large?
([i]In this problem we assume that if a multiple of $3k$ is divided by $3k$ then the remainder is $3k$ rather than $0$[/i].)

Rosencrantz plays $n \leq 2015$ games of question, and ends up with a win rate $\left(\text{i.e.}\: \frac{\text{\# of games won}}{\text{\# of games played}}\right)$ of $k$. Guildenstern has also played several games, and has a win rate less than $k$. He realizes that if, after playing some more games, his win rate becomes higher than $k$, then there must have been some point in time when Rosencrantz and Guildenstern had the exact same win-rate. Find the product of all possible values of $k$.

Two circles in a plane intersect. $A$ is one of the points of intersection. Starting simultaneously from $A$ two points move with constant speed, each travelling along its own circle in the same sense. The two points return to $A$ simultaneously after one revolution. Prove that there is a fixed point $P$ in the plane such that the two points are always equidistant from $P.$
