$16$ progamers are playing in a single elimination tournament. Each player has a different skill level and when two play against each other the one with the higher skill level will always win. Each round, each progamer plays a match against another and the loser is eliminated. This continues until only one remains. How many different progamers can reach the round that has $2$ players remaining?

There are $64$ booths around a circular table and on each one there is a chip. The chips and the corresponding booths are numbered $1$ to $64$ in this order. At the center of the table there are $1996$ light bulbs which are all turned off. Every minute the chips move simultaneously in a circular way (following the numbering sense) as follows: chip $1$ moves one booth, chip $2$ moves two booths, etc., so that more than one chip can be in the same booth. At any minute, for each chip sharing a booth with chip $1$ a bulb is lit. Where is chip $1$ on the first minute in which all bulbs are lit?

Let $n \geq 2$ be an integer. There are $n$ distinct circles in general position, that is, any two of them meet in two distinct points and there are no three of them meeting at one point. Those circles divide the plane in limited regions by circular edges, that meet at vertices (note that each circle have exactly $2n-2$ vertices). For each circle, temporarily color its vertices alternately black and white (note that, doing this, each vertex is colored twice, one for each circle passing through it). If the two temporarily colouring of a vertex coincide, this vertex is definitely colored with this common color; otherwise, it will be colored with gray. Show that if a circle has more than $n-2 + \sqrt{n-2}$ gray points, all vertices of some region are grey.
Observation: In this problem, a region cannot contain vertices or circular edges on its interior. Also, the outer region of all circles also counts as a region.
