Lines $l_1$ and $l_2$ both pass through the origin and make first-quadrant angles of $\frac{\pi}{70}$ and $\frac{\pi}{54}$ radians, respectively, with the positive x-axis. For any line $l$, the transformation $R(l)$ produces another line as follows: $l$ is reflected in $l_1$, and the resulting line is reflected in $l_2$. Let $R^{(1)}(l)=R(l)$ and $R^{(n)}(l)=R\left(R^{(n-1)}(l)\right)$. Given that $l$ is the line $y=\frac{19}{92}x$, find the smallest positive integer $m$ for which $R^{(m)}(l)=l$.

An ellipse has foci $A$ and $B$ and has the property that there is some point $C$ on the ellipse such that the area of the circle passing through $A$, $B$, and, $C$ is equal to the area of the ellipse. Let $e$ be the largest possible eccentricity of the ellipse. One may write $e^2$ as $\frac{a+\sqrt{b}}{c}$ , where $a, b$, and $c$ are integers such that $a$ and $c$ are relatively prime, and b is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $a^2 + b^2 + c^2$.

[b]p1.[/b] On the island of Nevermind some people are liars; they always lie. The remaining habitants of the island are truthlovers; they tell only the truth. Three habitants of the island, $A, B$, and $C$ met this morning.
$A$ said: “All of us are liars”.
$B$ said: “Only one of us is a truthlover”.
Who of them is a liar and who of them is a truthlover?

[b]p5.[/b] Two players play the following game. On the lowest left square of an $8\times 8$ chessboard there is a rook. The first player is allowed to move the rook up or to the right by an arbitrary number of squares. The second player is also allowed to move the rook up or to the right by an arbitrary number of squares. Then the first player is allowed to do this again, and so on. The one who moves the rook to the upper right square wins. Who has a winning strategy?

In the plane of traingle $ABC$ we consider a variable point $M$ which moves on line $MA$ towards $A$. Halfway there, it stops and starts moving in a straight line line towards $B$. Halfway there, it stops and starts moving in a straight line towards $C$, and halfway there it stops and starts moving in a straight line towards $A$, and so on. Show that $M$ will get as close as we want to the vertices of a fixed triangle with area $\text{area}(ABC)/7$.
