The eight points below are the vertices and the midpoints of the sides of a square. We would like to draw a number of circles through the points, in such a way that each pair of points lie on (at least) one of the circles.
Determine the smallest number of circles needed to do this.

Two circles $O_1$ and $O_2$ intersect at points $A$ and $B$. Lines $\overline{AC}$ and $\overline{BD}$ are drawn such that $C$ is on $O_1$ and $D$ is on $O_2$ and $\overline{AC} \perp \overline{AB}$ and $\overline{BD} \perp \overline{AB}$. If minor arc $AB= 45$ degrees relative to $O_1$ and minor arc $AB= 60$ degrees relative to $O_2$ and the radius of $O_2 = 10$, the area of quadrilateral $CADB$ can be expressed in simplest form as $a + b\sqrt{k} + c\sqrt{\ell}$. Compute $a + b + c + k +\ell$.

Two equal circles $S_1$ and $S_2$ meet at two different points. The line $\ell$ intersects $S_1$ at points $A,C$ and $S_2$ at points $B,D$ respectively (the order on $\ell$: $A,B,C,D$) . Define circles $\Gamma_1$ and $\Gamma_2$ as follows: both $\Gamma_1$ and $\Gamma_2$ touch $S_1$ internally and $S_2$ externally, both $\Gamma_1$ and $\Gamma_2$ line $\ell$, $\Gamma_1$ and $\Gamma_2$ lie in the different halfplanes relatively to line $\ell$. Suppose that $\Gamma_1$ and $\Gamma_2$ touch each other. Prove that $AB=CD$.

A point $C$ is marked on a chord $AB$ of a circle $\omega.$ Let $D$ be the midpoint of $AC,$ and $O$ be the center of the circle $\omega.$ The circumcircle of the triangle $BOD$ intersects the circle $\omega$ again at point $E$ and the straight line $OC$ again at point $F.$ Prove that the circumcircle of the triangle $CEF$ touches $AB.$

Circle $\omega$ passes through $A$ and $B$ intersecting $\omega_1$ again at $D \neq A$ and intersecting $\omega_2$ again at $C \neq B$. The three points $C$, $Y$, $D$ are collinear, $XC = 67$, $XY = 47$, and $XD = 37$. Find $AB^2$.
Different points $A,B,C,D,E,F$ lie on circle $k$ in this order. The tangents to $k$ in the points $A$ and $D$ and the lines $BF$ and $CE$ have a common point $P$. Prove that the lines $AD,BC$ and $EF$ also have a common point or are parallel.
