a) A bus network is organized so that: 1) one can reach any stop from any other stop without changing buses; 2) every pair of routes has a single stop at which one can change buses; 3) each route has exactly three stops? How many bus routes are there? It is assumed that there are at least two routes. b) A town has $57$ bus routes. How many stops does each route have if it is known that 1) one can reach any stop from any other stop without changing buses; 2) for every pair of routes there is a single stop where one can change buses; 3) each route has three or more stops?

Players $A$ and $B$ play the following game on the coordinate plane. Player $A$ hides a nut at one of the points with integer coordinates, and player $B$ tries to find this hidden nut. In one move $B$ can choose three different points with integer coordinates, then $A$ tells whether these three points together with the nut's point lie on the same circle or not. Can $B$ be guaranteed to find the nut in a finite number of moves?
