The Imomi archipelago consists of $n\geq 2$ islands. Between each pair of distinct islands is a unique ferry line that runs in both directions, and each ferry line is operated by one of $k$ companies. It is known that if any one of the $k$ companies closes all its ferry lines, then it becomes impossible for a traveller, no matter where the traveller starts at, to visit all the islands exactly once (in particular, not returning to the island the traveller started at). Determine the maximal possible value of $k$ in terms of $n$. [i]Anton Trygub, Ukraine[/i]

Prove that the circumcircle of the triangle ${BKM}$ passes through the center of the segment ${BC}$ .

Alice and Bob play a game on a connected graph with $2n$ vertices, where $n\in \mathbb{N}$ and $n>1$.. Alice and Bob have tokens named A and B respectively. They alternate their turns with Alice going first. Alice gets to decide the starting positions of A and B. Every move, the player with the turn moves their token to an adjacent vertex. Bob's goal is to catch Alice, and Alice's goal is to prevent this. Note that positions of A, B are visible to both Alice and Bob at every moment. Provided they both play optimally, what is the maximum possible number of edges in the graph if Alice is able to evade Bob indefinitely? [i]Proposed by Shashank Ingalagavi and Vighnesh Sangle[/i]
