He is holding the tenth book, $J$, in his hand. He takes the books out one-by-one, replacing each with the book currently in his hand. For example, he could take out $A$, put $J$ in its place, then take out $D$, put $A$ in its place, etc. He never takes the same book out twice, and stops once he has taken out the tenth book, which is $G$. At the end, he is holding G in his hand, and his bookshelf looks like this.

2022 LMT Fall, 1 Tetris
Tetris is a Soviet block game developed in $1984$, probably to torture misbehaving middle school children. Nowadays, Tetris is a game that people play for fun, and we even have a mini-event featuring it, but it shall be used on this test for its original purpose. The $7$ Tetris pieces, which will be used in various problems in this theme, are as follows:

Jacob likes to watchMickeyMouse Clubhouse! One day, he decides to create his own MickeyMouse head shown below, with two circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ and a circle $\omega$, and centers $O_1$, $O_2$, and $O$, respectively. Let $\omega_1$ and $\omega$ meet at points $P_1$ and $Q_1$, and let $\omega_2$ and $\omega$ meet at points $P_2$ and $Q_2$. Point $P_1$ is closer to $O_2$ than $Q_1$, and point $P_2$ is closer to $O_1$ than $Q_2$. Given that $P_1$ and $P_2$ lie on $O_1O_2$ such that $O_1P_1 = P_1P_2 = P_2O_2 = 2$, and $Q_1O_1 \parallel Q_2O_2$, the area of $\omega$ can be written as $n \pi$. Find $n$.
