Toward the end of a game of Fish, the $2$ through $7$ of spades, inclusive, remain in the hands of three distinguishable players: DBR, RB, and DB, such that each player has at least one card.

Given a triangular pyramid in which all the plane angles at one of the vertices are right. It is known that there is a point in space located at a distance of $3$ from the indicated vertex and at distances $\sqrt5, \sqrt6, \sqrt7$ from three other vertices.

Let $C$ be a closed convex curve with a continuously turning tangent and let $O$ be a point inside $C.$ For each point $P$ on $C$ we define $T(P)$ as follows: Draw the tangent to $C$ at $P$ and from $O$ drop the perpendicular to that tangent. Then $T(P)$ is the point at which $C$ intersects this perpendicular. Starting now with a point $P_{0}$ on $C$, define points $P_n$ by $P_n =T(P_{n-1}).$ Prove that the points $P_{n}$ approach a limit and characterize all possible limit points. (You may assume that $T$ is continuous.)

Let $n\ge 2$ be a positive integer. The integers $1,2,\cdots,n$ are written on a board. In a move, Alice can pick two integers written on the board $a\neq b$ such that $a+b$ is an even number, erase both $a$ and $b$ from the board and write the number $\frac{a+b}{2}$ on the board instead. Find all $n$ for which Alice can make a sequence of moves so that she ends up with only one number remaining on the board. [b]Note.[/b] When $n=3$, Alice changes $(1,2,3)$ to $(2,2)$ and can't make any further moves. [i]Proposed by Rohan Goyal[/i]

Prove that for every two even integers $m, n \geq 4$, there are two compatible polygons with $m$ and $n$ sides. (A simple polygon is a polygon that does not intersect itself.)
