A collection of circles in the upper half-plane, all tangent to the $x$-axis, is constructed in layers as follows. Layer $L_0$ consists of two circles of radii $70^2$ and $73^2$ that are externally tangent. For $k\geq 1$, the circles in $\textstyle\bigcup_{j=0}^{k-1} L_j$ are ordered according to their points of tangency with the $x$-axis. For every pair of consecutive circles in this order, a new circle is constructed externally tangent to each of the two circles in the pair. Layer $L_k$ consists of the $2^{k-1}$ circles constructed in this way. Let $S=\textstyle\bigcup_{j=0}^6 L_j$, and for every circle $C$ denote by $r(C)$ its radius.

In the plane, there are two circles $\Gamma_1, \Gamma_2$ intersecting each other at two points $A$ and $B$. Tangents of $\Gamma_1$ at $A$ and $B$ meet each other at $K$. Let us consider an arbitrary point $M$ (which is different of $A$ and $B$) on $\Gamma_1$. The line $MA$ meets $\Gamma_2$ again at $P$. The line $MK$ meets $\Gamma_1$ again at $C$. The line $CA$ meets $\Gamma_2 $ again at $Q$. Show that the midpoint of $PQ$ lies on the line $MC$ and the line $PQ$ passes through a fixed point when $M$ moves on $\Gamma_1$.

Define a regular $n$-pointed star to be the union of $n$ line segments $P_1P_2, P_2P_3,\ldots, P_nP_1$ such that $\bullet$ the points $P_1, P_2,\ldots, P_n$ are coplanar and no three of them are collinear, $\bullet$ each of the $n$ line segments intersects at least one of the other line segments at a point other than an endpoint, $\bullet$ all of the angles at $P_1, P_2,\ldots, P_n$ are congruent, $\bullet$ all of the $n$ line segments $P_2P_3,\ldots, P_nP_1$ are congruent, and $\bullet$ the path $P_1P_2, P_2P_3,\ldots, P_nP_1$ turns counterclockwise at an angle of less than 180 degrees at each vertex. There are no regular 3-pointed, 4-pointed, or 6-pointed stars. All regular 5-pointed stars are similar, but there are two non-similar regular 7-pointed stars. How many non-similar regular 1000-pointed stars are there?
For a function $f(x)=\ln (1+\sqrt{1-x^2})-\sqrt{1-x^2}-\ln x\ (0<x<1)$, answer the following questions: (1) Find $f'(x)$. (2) Sketch the graph of $y=f(x)$.

Let $ \mathbb{Q}$ and $ \mathbb{R}$ be the set of rational numbers and the set of real numbers, respectively, and let $ f : \mathbb{Q} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a function with the following property. For every $ h \in \mathbb{Q} , \;x_0 \in \mathbb{R}$, \[ f(x\plus{}h)\minus{}f(x) \rightarrow 0\] as $ x \in \mathbb{Q}$ tends to $ x_0$. Does it follow that $ f$ is bounded on some interval? [i]M.
