An empty $2020 \times 2020 \times 2020$ cube is given, and a $2020 \times 2020$ grid of square unit cells is drawn on each of its six faces. A [i]beam[/i] is a $1 \times 1 \times 2020$ rectangular prism. Several beams are placed inside the cube subject to the following conditions: [list=] [*]The two $1 \times 1$ faces of each beam coincide with unit cells lying on opposite faces of the cube. (Hence, there are $3 \cdot {2020}^2$ possible positions for a beam.) [*]No two beams have intersecting interiors. [*]The interiors of each of the four $1 \times 2020$ faces of each beam touch either a face of the cube or the interior of the face of another beam.

Let $A$ and $B$ be positions of two ships $M$ and $N$, respectively, at the moment when $N$ saw $M$ moving with constant speed $v$ following the line $Ax$. In search of help, $N$ moves with speed $kv$ ($k < 1$) along the line $By$ in order to meet $M$ as soon as possible. Denote by $C$ the point of meeting of the two ships, and set \[AB = d, \angle BAC = \alpha, 0 \leq \alpha < \frac{\pi}{2}.\] Determine the angle $\angle ABC = \beta$ and time $t$ that $N$ needs in order to meet $M$.

From a square board $1000\times 1000$ four rectangles $2\times 994$ have been cut off as shown on the picture. Initially, on the marked square there is a centaur - a piece that moves to the adjacent square to the left, up, or diagonally up-right in each move. Two players alternately move the centaur. The one who cannot make a move loses the game. Who has a winning strategy? [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/c/6/f61c186413b642b5b59f3947bc7a108c772d27.png[/img]
