An assignment of either a $ 0$ or a $ 1$ to each unit square of an $ m$x$ n$ chessboard is called $ fair$ if the total numbers of $ 0$s and $ 1$s are equal. A real number $ a$ is called $ beautiful$ if there are positive integers $ m,n$ and a fair assignment for the $ m$x$ n$ chessboard such that for each of the $ m$ rows and $ n$ columns , the percentage of $ 1$s on that row or column is not less than $ a$ or greater than $ 100\minus{}a$. Find the largest beautiful number.

In the plane, let $a$, $b$ be two closed broken lines (possibly self-intersecting), and $K$, $L$, $M$, $N$ be four points. The vertices of $a$, $b$ and the points $K$ $L$, $M$, $N$ are in general position (i.e. no three of these points are collinear, and no three segments between them concur at an interior point). Each of segments $KL$ and $MN$ meets $a$ at an even number of points, and each of segments $LM$ and $NK$ meets $a$ at an odd number of points. Conversely, each of segments $KL$ and $MN$ meets $b$ at an odd number of points, and each of segments $LM$ and $NK$ meets $b$ at an even number of points. Prove that $a$ and $b$ intersect.

$40$ people, numbered $1$ through $40$ counterclockwise, sit around a circular table. They begin playing a game. Each person is initially considered "alive". Starting with person $1$, the first person eliminates the closest "alive" person to their right (so Person $1$ eliminates Person $2$). Then the next "alive" person, moving counterclockwise, eliminates the closest "alive" person to their right (so since Person $2$ is eliminated, Person $3$ eliminates Person $4$). This process continues until there is only $1$ "alive" person remaining. What is the number of the last "alive" person?
