Bubble Boy and Bubble Girl live in bubbles of unit radii centered at $(20, 13)$ and $(0, 10)$ respectively. Because Bubble Boy loves Bubble Girl, he wants to reach her as quickly as possible, but he needs to bring a gift; luckily, there are plenty of gifts along the $x$-axis. Assuming that Bubble Girl remains stationary, find the length of the shortest path Bubble Boy can take to visit the $x$-axis and then reach Bubble Girl (the bubble is a solid boundary, and anything the bubble can touch, Bubble Boy can touch too)

Prove that if a lattice triangle has no lattice points on its boundary in addition to its vertices, and one point in its interior, then this interior point is its center of gravity.

In a Cartesian coordinate plane, call a rectangle $standard$ if all of its sides are parallel to the $x$- and $y$- axes, and call a set of points $nice$ if no two of them have the same $x$- or $y$- coordinate. First, Bert chooses a nice set $B$ of $2016$ points in the coordinate plane. To mess with Bert, Ernie then chooses a set $E$ of $n$ points in the coordinate plane such that $B\cup E$ is a nice set with $2016+n$ points. Bert returns and then miraculously notices that there does not exist a standard rectangle that contains at least two points in $B$ and no points in $E$ in its interior. For a given nice set $B$ that Bert chooses, define $f(B)$ as the smallest positive integer $n$ such that Ernie can find a nice set $E$ of size $n$ with the aforementioned properties. Help Bert determine the minimum and maximum possible values of $f(B)$. [i]Yannick Yao[/i]
