Let ${n}$ and $k$ be positive integers. There are given ${n}$ circles in the plane. Every two of them intersect at two distinct points, and all points of intersection they determine are pairwise distinct (i. e. no three circles have a common point). No three circles have a point in common. Each intersection point must be colored with one of $n$ distinct colors so that each color is used at least once and exactly $k$ distinct colors occur on each circle. Find all values of $n\geq 2$ and $k$ for which such a coloring is possible. [i]Proposed by Horst Sewerin, Germany[/i]

Let $l$ be the parallel to $CT$ through $A$ and $D$ the intersection of $l$ and the perpendicular to $AB$ through $T$. Show that the line $DB$ bisects segment $CT$.

In the Jordan Building (the Olympiad building of High School Mandegar Alborz), Ali and Khosro are playing a game. First, Ali selects 2025 points on the plane such that no three points are collinear and no four points are concyclic. Then, Khosro selects a point, followed by Ali selecting another point, and then Khosro selects one more point. The circumcircle of these three points is drawn, and the number of points inside the circle is denoted by \( t \). If Khosro's goal is to maximize \( t \) and Ali's goal is to minimize \( t \), and both play optimally, determine the value of \( t \). Proposed by Reza Tahernejad Karizi
