Let the sides $AD$ and $BC$ of the quadrilateral $ABCD$ (such that $AB$ is not parallel to $CD$) intersect at point $P$. Points $O_1$ and $O_2$ are circumcenters and points $H_1$ and $H_2$ are orthocenters of triangles $ABP$ and $CDP$, respectively.

Carissa is crossing a very, very, very wide street, and did not properly check both ways before doing so. (Don't be like Carissa!) She initially begins walking at $2$ feet per second. Suddenly, she hears a car approaching, and begins running, eventually making it safely to the other side, half a minute after she began crossing. Given that Carissa always runs $n$ times as fast as she walks and that she spent $n$ times as much time running as she did walking, and given that the street is $260$ feet wide, find Carissa's running speed, in feet per second.

Let $B$ and $C$ be two fixed points on a circle centered at $O$ that are not diametrically opposed. Let $A$ be a variable point on the circle distinct from $B$ and $C$ and not belonging to the perpendicular bisector of $BC$. Let $H$ be the orthocenter of $\triangle ABC$, and $M$ and $N$ be the midpoints of the segments $BC$ and $AH$, respectively. The line $AM$ intersects the circle again at $D$, and finally, $NM$ and $OD$ intersect at $P$. Determine the locus of points $P$ as $A$ moves around the circle.

We consider a game on an infinite chessboard similar to that of solitaire: If two adjacent fields are occupied by pawns and the next field is empty (the three fields lie on a vertical or horizontal line), then we may remove these two pawns and put one of them on the third field. Prove that if in the initial position pawns fill a $3k \times n$ rectangle, then it is impossible to reach a position with only one pawn on the board.
