Two circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ are said to be $\textit{orthogonal}$ if they intersect each other at right angles. In other words, for any point $P$ lying on both $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$, if $\ell_1$ is the line tangent to $\omega_1$ at $P$ and $\ell_2$ is the line tangent to $\omega_2$ at $P$, then $\ell_1\perp \ell_2$. (Two circles which do not intersect are not orthogonal.) Let $\triangle ABC$ be a triangle with area $20$. Orthogonal circles $\omega_B$ and $\omega_C$ are drawn with $\omega_B$ centered at $B$ and $\omega_C$ centered at $C$. Points $T_B$ and $T_C$ are placed on $\omega_B$ and $\omega_C$ respectively such that $AT_B$ is tangent to $\omega_B$ and $AT_C$ is tangent to $\omega_C$. If $AT_B = 7$ and $AT_C = 11$, what is $\tan\angle BAC$?

We will say that a plane is [i]well-colored[/i] in several colors if it is divided into convex polygons with an area of at least $1/1000$ and each polygon is colored in one color. Points lying on the border of several polygons can be colored in any of their colors. Are there convex is a $9$-gon $R$ and a good coloring of the plane in $7$ colors such that in any polygon obtained from $R$ by a translate to any vector, all colors occupy the same area ($1/7$ of the area of $R$)?
