The dodo was a strange animal. As it has already become extinct, only conjectures can be made about its way of life. One of the most unique conjectures is linked to the way the dodo moved. It seems that an adult animal only moved by jumping, which could be of two types:
type I: $1$ meter to the East and $3$ to the North;
type II: $2$ meters to the West and $4$ to the South.
a) Prove that it was possible for the diode to reach a point located $19$ meters to the East and $95$ to the North of it and determines the number of jumps for each type he needed to carry out.
b) Prove that it was impossible for the diode to reach a point located $18$ meters to the East and $95$ meters to the North of it.

Let $ A^{\prime}$ be an arbitrary point on the side $ BC$ of a triangle $ ABC$. Denote by $ \mathcal{T}_{A}^{b}$, $ \mathcal{T}_{A}^{c}$ the circles simultanously tangent to $ AA^{\prime}$, $ A^{\prime}B$, $ \Gamma$ and $ AA^{\prime}$, $ A^{\prime}C$, $ \Gamma$, respectively, where $ \Gamma$ is the circumcircle of $ ABC$. Prove that $ \mathcal{T}_{A}^{b}$, $ \mathcal{T}_{A}^{c}$ are congruent if and only if $ AA^{\prime}$ passes through the Nagel point of triangle $ ABC$.
([i]If $ M,N,P$ are the points of tangency of the excircles of the triangle $ ABC$ with the sides of the triangle $ BC$, $ CA$ and $ AB$ respectively, then the Nagel point of the triangle is the intersection point of the lines $ AM$, $ BN$ and $ CP$[/i].)

A rectangle that is inscribed in a larger rectangle (with one vertex on each side) is called [i]unstuck[/i] if it is possible to rotate (however slightly) the smaller rectangle about its center within the confines of the larger. Of all the rectangles that can be inscribed unstuck in a 6 by 8 rectangle, the smallest perimeter has the form $\sqrt{N}$, for a positive integer $N$. Find $N$.

Let us defined a pseudo-Riemannian metric on the set of points of the Euclidean space $ \mathbb{E}^3$ not lying on the $ z$-axis by the metric tensor \[ \left( \begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & \minus{}\sqrt{x^2\plus{}y^2} \\ \end{array} \right),\] where $ (x,y,z)$ is a Cartesian coordinate system $ \mathbb{E}^3$. Show that the orthogonal projections of the geodesic curves of this Riemannian space onto the $ (x,y)$-plane are straight lines or conic sections with focus at the origin

In a plane we are given two distinct points $A,B$ and two lines $a, b$ passing through $B$ and $A$ respectively $(a \ni B, b \ni A)$ such that the line $AB$ is equally inclined to a and b. Find the locus of points $M$ in the plane such that the product of distances from $M$ to $A$ and a equals the product of distances from $M$ to $B$ and $b$ (i.e., $MA \cdot MA' = MB \cdot MB'$, where $A'$ and $B'$ are the feet of the perpendiculars from $M$ to $a$ and $b$ respectively).

1. From any lattice point $ (a,b)$, the particle may only move to $ (a \plus{} 1,b)$, $ (a,b \plus{} 1)$, or $ (a \plus{} 1,b \plus{} 1)$.
2. There are no right angle turns in the particle's path.

Points with integer coordinates in cartesian space are called lattice points. We color $2000$ lattice points blue and $2000$ other lattice points red in such a way that no two blue-red segments have a common interior point (a segment is blue-red if its two endpoints are colored blue and red). Consider the smallest rectangular parallelepiped that covers all the colored points.
(a) Prove that this rectangular parallelepiped covers at least $500,000$ lattice points.
(b) Give an example of a coloring for which the considered rectangular paralellepiped covers at most $8,000,000$ lattice points.
