A circle is drawn on a plane, the center of which is not indicated. On this circle, point $A$ is marked and a second circle with center at $A$ is constructed. The second circle has a radius greater than the radius of the first and intersects the first at two points. Construct the center of the first circle using only a compass, drawing no more than five more circles.

The diagonals of a convex quadrilateral $ABCD$ meet at point $L$. The orthocenter $H$ of the triangle $LAB$ and the circumcenters $O_1, O_2$, and $O_3$ of the triangles $LBC, LCD$, and $LDA$ were marked. Then the whole configuration except for points $H, O_1, O_2$, and $O_3$ was erased. Restore it using a compass and a ruler.

In triangle $ABC$, the bisector $CL$ was drawn. The incircles of triangles $CAL$ and $CBL$ touch $AB$ at points $M$ and $N$ respectively.

Let $m, n \ge 2$ be integers. Carl is given $n$ marked points in the plane and wishes to mark their centroid.* He has no standard compass or straightedge. Instead, he has a device which, given marked points $A$ and $B$, marks the $m-1$ points that divide segment $\overline{AB}$ into $m$ congruent parts (but does not draw the segment). For which pairs $(m,n)$ can Carl necessarily accomplish his task, regardless of which $n$ points he is given? *Here, the [i]centroid[/i] of $n$ points with coordinates $(x_1, y_1), \dots, (x_n, y_n)$ is the point with coordinates $\left( \frac{x_1 + \dots + x_n}{n}, \frac{y_1 + \dots + y_n}{n}\right)$.

Line segment $AM=d>0$ is given in the plane. Furthermore, a positive number $v$ is given.

Suppose there are several juice boxes, one of which is poisoned. You have $n$ guinea pigs to test the boxes. The testing happens in the following way: [list] [*] At each round, you can have the guinea pigs taste any number of juice boxes. [*] Conversely, a juice box can be tasted by any number of guinea pigs. [*] After the round ends, any guinea pigs who tasted the poisoned juice die. [/list] Suppose you have to find the poisoned juice box in at most $k$ rounds. What is the maximum number of juice boxes such that it is possible?
