In the coordinate plane, a point is called a $\text{lattice point}$ if both of its coordinates are integers. Let $A$ be the point $(12,84)$. Find the number of right angled triangles $ABC$ in the coordinate plane $B$ and $C$ are lattice points, having a right angle at vertex $A$ and whose incenter is at the origin $(0,0)$.

A piece of paper is folded in half. A second fold is made at an angle $ \phi$ ($ 0^\circ < \phi < 90^\circ$) to the first, and a cut is made as shown below. [img]12881[/img] When the piece of paper is unfolded, the resulting hole is a polygon. Let $ O$ be one of its vertices. Suppose that all the other vertices of the hole lie on a circle centered at $ O$, and also that $ \angle XOY \equal{} 144^\circ$, where $ X$ and $ Y$ are the the vertices of the hole adjacent to $ O$. Find the value(s) of $ \phi$ (in degrees).

There are $N$ pupils in a school class, and there are several communities among them. Sociability of a pupil will mean the number of pupils in the largest community to which the pupil belongs (if the pupil belongs to none then the sociability equals $1$). It occurred that all girls in the class have different sociabilities. What is the maximum possible number of girls in the class?
