A regular octagon $P$ is given whose incircle $k$ has diameter $1$. About $k$ is circumscribed a regular $16$-gon, which is also inscribed in $P$, cutting from $P$ eight isosceles triangles.

Prove the following statement: Given a finite set $M$ of points lying in $P$ such that every two points of this set have a distance not exceeding $1$, one of the $11$-gons $P'$ contains all of $M$.

The figure shows a network of roads bounding $12$ blocks. Person $P$ goes from $A$ to $B,$ and person $Q$ goes from $B$ to $A,$ each going by a shortest path (along roads). The persons start simultaneously and go at the same constant speed. At each point with two possible directions to take, both have the same probability. Find the probability that the persons meet.

A football is covered by some polygonal pieces of leather which are sewed up by three different colors threads. It features as follows: i) any edge of a polygonal piece of leather is sewed up with an equal-length edge of another polygonal piece of leather by a certain color thread; ii) each node on the ball is vertex to exactly three polygons, and the three threads joint at the node are of different colors. Show that we can assign to each node on the ball a complex number (not equal to $1$), such that the product of the numbers assigned to the vertices of any polygonal face is equal to $1$.
