and equality is achieved if and only if the lines $AA', BB', CC'$ intersect at one point.
A grasshopper is hopping in the angle $x\ge 0, y\ge 0$ of the coordinate plane (that means that it cannot land in the point with negative coordinate). If it is in the point $(x,y)$, it can either jump to the point $(x+1,y-1)$, or to the point $(x-5,y+7)$. Draw a set of such an initial points $(x,y)$, that having started from there, a grasshopper cannot reach any point farther than $1000$ from the point $(0,0)$. Find its area.

Benedek draws circles with the same center in the following way. The first circle he draws has radius $1$. Next, he draws a second circle such that the ring between the first and second circles has twice the area of the first circle. Next, he draws a third circle such that the ring between the second and third circles is three times the area of the first circle, and so on (see the diagram).
What is the smallest $n$ fow which the radius of the $n$-th circle is an integer greater than $1$?
