Let $\mathcal O_{1}$ and $\mathcal O_{2}$ two exterior circles. Let $A$, $B$, $C$ be points on $\mathcal O_{1}$ and $D$, $E$, $F$ points on $\mathcal O_{1}$ such that $AD$ and $BE$ are the common exterior tangents to these two circles and $CF$ is one of the interior tangents to these two circles, and such that $C$, $F$ are in the interior of the quadrilateral $ABED$. If $CO_{1}\cap AB=\{M\}$ and $FO_{2}\cap DE=\{N\}$ then prove that $MN$ passes through the middle of $CF$.

For any positive integer $n$, we denote by $F(n)$ the number of ways in which $n$ can be expressed as the sum of three different positive integers, without regard to order. Thus, since $10 = 7+2+1 = 6+3+1 = 5+4+1 = 5+3+2$, we have $F(10) = 4$. Show that $F(n)$ is even if $n \equiv 2$ or $4 \pmod 6$, but odd if $n$ is divisible by $6$.
