Let $ABC$ be an acute-angled triangle in which no two sides have the same length. The reflections of the centroid $G$ and the circumcentre $O$ of $ABC$ in its sides $BC,CA,AB$ are denoted by $G_1,G_2,G_3$ and $O_1,O_2,O_3$, respectively. Show that the circumcircles of triangles $G_1G_2C$, $G_1G_3B$, $G_2G_3A$, $O_1O_2C$, $O_1O_3B$, $O_2O_3A$ and $ABC$ have a common point.

[b]p1[/b]. Your Halloween took a bad turn, and you are trapped on a small rock above a sea of lava. You are on rock $1$, and rocks $2$ through $12$ are arranged in a straight line in front of you. You want to get to rock $12$. You must jump from rock to rock, and you can either (1) jump from rock $n$ to $n + 1$ or (2) jump from rock $n$ to $n + 2$. Unfortunately, you are weak from eating too much candy, and you cannot do (2) twice in a row. How many different sequences of jumps will take you to your destination?
