a) Suppose that $ RBR'B'$ is a convex quadrilateral such that vertices $ R$ and $ R'$ have red color and vertices $ B$ and $ B'$ have blue color. We put $ k$ arbitrary points of colors blue and red in the quadrilateral such that no four of these $ k\plus{}4$ point (except probably $ RBR'B'$) lie one a circle. Prove that exactly one of the following cases occur? 1. There is a path from $ R$ to $ R'$ such that distance of every point on this path from one of red points is less than its distance from all blue points. 2. There is a path from $ B$ to $ B'$ such that distance of every point on this path from one of blue points is less than its distance from all red points. We call these two paths the blue path and the red path respectively. Let $ n$ be a natural number. Two people play the following game. At each step one player puts a point in quadrilateral satisfying the above conditions. First player only puts red point and second player only puts blue points. Game finishes when every player has put $ n$ points on the plane. First player's goal is to make a red path from $ R$ to $ R'$ and the second player's goal is to make a blue path from $ B$ to $ B'$. b) Prove that if $ RBR'B'$ is rectangle then for each $ n$ the second player wins. c) Try to specify the winner for other quadrilaterals.

We have two concentric circles. A polygon is circumscribed around the smaller circle and is contained entirely inside the greater circle. Perpendiculars from the common center of the circles to the sides of the polygon are extended till they intersect the greater circle. Each of the points obtained is connected with the endpoints of the corresponding side of the polygon . When is the resulting star-shaped polygon the unfolding of a pyramid?

The escalator of the department store, which at any given time can be seen at $75$ steps section, moves up one step in $2$ seconds. At time $0$, Juku is standing on an escalator step equidistant from each end, facing the direction of travel. He goes by a certain rule: one step forward, two steps back, then again one step forward, two back, etc., taking one every second in increments of one step. Which end will Juku finally get out and at what point will it happen?
