Johann and Nicole are playing a game on the coordinate plane. First, Johann draws any polygon $\mathcal{S}$ and then Nicole can shift $\mathcal{S}$ to wherever she wants. Johann wins if there exists a point with coordinates $(x, y)$ in the interior of $\mathcal{S}$, where $x$ and $y$ are coprime integers. Otherwise, Nicole wins. Determine who has a winning strategy.

Given is a flat plane $V$ containing a rectangular coordinate system $xOy$. We consider quartets of numbers $(p,q,r,s)$; $p\le 0$, $q \le 0$, $r \le 0$, $s \le 0$.

Suppose 2012 reals are selected independently and at random from the unit interval $[0,1]$, and then written in nondecreasing order as $x_1\le x_2\le\cdots\le x_{2012}$. If the probability that $x_{i+1} - x_i \le \frac{1}{2011}$ for $i=1,2,\ldots,2011$ can be expressed in the form $\frac{m}{n}$ for relatively prime positive integers $m,n$, find the remainder when $m+n$ is divided by 1000.

For a positive integer $k\ge 2$ define $\mathcal{T}_k=\{(x,y)\mid x,y=0,1,\ldots, k-1\}$ to be a collection of $k^2$ lattice points on the cartesian coordinate plane. Let $d_1(k)>d_2(k)>\cdots$ be the decreasing sequence of the distinct distances between any two points in $T_k$. Suppose $S_i(k)$ be the number of distances equal to $d_i(k)$.
Prove that for any three positive integers $m>n>i$ we have $S_i(m)=S_i(n)$.

Let $m$ and $n$ be positive integers. A sequence of points $(A_0,A_1,\ldots,A_n)$ on the Cartesian plane is called [i]interesting[/i] if $A_i$ are all lattice points, the slopes of $OA_0,OA_1,\cdots,OA_n$ are strictly increasing ($O$ is the origin) and the area of triangle $OA_iA_{i+1}$ is equal to $\frac{1}{2}$ for $i=0,1,\ldots,n-1$.
Let $(B_0,B_1,\cdots,B_n)$ be a sequence of points. We may insert a point $B$ between $B_i$ and $B_{i+1}$ if $\overrightarrow{OB}=\overrightarrow{OB_i}+\overrightarrow{OB_{i+1}}$, and the resulting sequence $(B_0,B_1,\ldots,B_i,B,B_{i+1},\ldots,B_n)$ is called an [i]extension[/i] of the original sequence. Given two [i]interesting[/i] sequences $(C_0,C_1,\ldots,C_n)$ and $(D_0,D_1,\ldots,D_m)$, prove that if $C_0=D_0$ and $C_n=D_m$, then we may perform finitely many [i]extensions[/i] on each sequence until the resulting two sequences become identical.
