Given a triangle $ABC$ for which $\angle BAC \neq 90^{\circ}$, let $B_1, C_1$ be variable points on $AB,AC$, respectively. Let $B_2,C_2$ be the points on line $BC$ such that a spiral similarity centered at $A$ maps $B_1C_1$ to $C_2B_2$. Denote the circumcircle of $AB_1C_1$ by $\omega$. Show that if $B_1B_2$ and $C_1C_2$ concur on $\omega$ at a point distinct from $B_1$ and $C_1$, then $\omega$ passes through a fixed point other than $A$.

A mathematical organization is producing a set of commemorative license plates. Each plate contains a sequence of five characters chosen from the four letters in AIME and the four digits in $2007$. No character may appear in a sequence more times than it appears among the four letters in AIME or the four digits in $2007$. A set of plates in which each possible sequence appears exactly once contains $N$ license plates. Find $\frac{N}{10}$.

Twenty ants live on the faces of an icosahedron, one ant on each side, where the icosahedron have each side with length 1. Each ant moves in a counterclockwise direction on each face, along the side/edges. The speed of each ant must be no less than 1 always. Also, if two ants meet, they should meet at the vertex of the icosahedron. If five ants meet at the same time at a vertex, we call that a [i]collision[/i]. Can the ants move forever, in a way that no [i]collision[/i] occurs?
