A domino is a $ 1 \times 2 $ or $ 2 \times 1 $ tile. Let $n \ge 3 $ be an integer. Dominoes are placed on an $n \times n$ board in such a way that each domino covers exactly two cells of the board, and dominoes do not overlap. The value of a row or column is the number of dominoes that cover at least one cell of this row or column. The configuration is called balanced if there exists some $k \ge 1 $ such that each row and each column has a value of $k$. Prove that a balanced configuration exists for every $n \ge 3 $, and find the minimum number of dominoes needed in such a configuration.

Let $ABC$ be a fixed triangle. Three similar (by point order) isosceles trapezoids are built on its sides: $ABXY, BCZW, CAUV$, such that the sides of the triangle are bases of the respective trapezoids. The circumcircles of triangles $XZU, YWV$ meet at two points $P, Q$. Prove that the line $PQ$ passes through a fixed point independent of the choice of trapezoids.
