Let $ABC$ be a triangle. Construct three circles $k_1$, $k_2$, and $k_3$ with the same radius such that they intersect each other at a common point $O$ inside the triangle $ABC$ and $k_1\cap k_2=\{A,O\}$, $k_2 \cap k_3=\{B,O\}$, $k_3\cap k_1=\{C,O\}$. Let $t_a$ be a common tangent of circles $k_1$ and $k_2$ such that $A$ is closer to $t_a$ than $O$. Define $t_b$ and $t_c$ similarly. Those three tangents determine a triangle $MNP$ such that the triangle $ABC$ is inside the triangle $MNP$. Prove that the area of $MNP$ is at least $9$ times the area of $ABC$.

Given two distinct points $A,B$ in the plane, for each point $C$ not on the line $AB$, we denote by $G$ and $I$ the centroid and incenter of the triangle $ABC$, respectively.
(a) For $0<\alpha<\pi$, let $\Gamma$ be the set of points $C$ in the plane such that $\angle\left(\overrightarrow{CA},\overrightarrow{CB}\right)=\alpha+2k\pi$ as an oriented angle, where $k\in\mathbb Z$. If $C$ describes $\Gamma$, show that points $G$ and $I$ also descibre arcs of circles, and determine these circles.
(b) Suppose that in addition $\frac\pi3<\alpha<\pi$. For which positions of $C$ in $\Gamma$ is $GI$ minimal?
(c) Let $f(\alpha)$ denote the minimal $GI$ from the part (b). Give $f(\alpha)$ explicitly in terms of $a=AB$ and $\alpha$. Find the minimum value of $f(\alpha)$ for $\alpha\in\left(\frac\pi3,\pi\right)$.

$240$ students are participating a big performance show. They stand in a row and face to their coach. The coach askes them to count numbers from left to right, starting from $1$. (Of course their counts be like $1,2,3,...$)The coach askes them to remember their number and do the following action:
First, if your number is divisible by $3$ then turn around.
Then, if your number is divisible by $5$ then turn around.
Finally, if your number is divisible by $7$ then turn around.
(a) How many students are face to coach now?
(b) What is the number of the $66^{\text{th}}$ student counting from left who is face to coach?
