Given semicircle $(c)$ with diameter $AB$ and center $O$. On the $(c)$ we take point $C$ such that the tangent at the $C$ intersects the line $AB$ at the point $E$. The perpendicular line from $C$ to $AB$ intersects the diameter $AB$ at the point $D$. On the $(c)$ we get the points $H,Z$ such that $CD = CH = CZ$. The line $HZ$ intersects the lines $CO,CD,AB$ at the points $S, I, K$ respectively and the parallel line from $I$ to the line $AB$ intersects the lines $CO,CK$ at the points $L,M$ respectively. We consider the circumcircle $(k)$ of the triangle $LMD$, which intersects again the lines $AB, CK$ at the points $P, U$ respectively. Let $(e_1), (e_2), (e_3)$ be the tangents of the $(k)$ at the points $L, M, P$ respectively and $R = (e_1) \cap (e_2)$, $X = (e_2) \cap (e_3)$, $T = (e_1) \cap (e_3)$. Prove that if $Q$ is the center of $(k)$, then the lines $RD, TU, XS$ pass through the same point, which lies in the line $IQ$.

Consider triangles in the plane where each vertex has integer coordinates. Such a triangle can be[i] legally transformed[/i] by moving one vertex parallel to the opposite side to a different point with integer coordinates. Show that if two triangles have the same area, then there exists a series of legal transformations that transforms one to the other.

Let ${n}$ and $k$ be positive integers. There are given ${n}$ circles in the plane. Every two of them intersect at two distinct points, and all points of intersection they determine are pairwise distinct (i. e. no three circles have a common point). No three circles have a point in common. Each intersection point must be colored with one of $n$ distinct colors so that each color is used at least once and exactly $k$ distinct colors occur on each circle. Find all values of $n\geq 2$ and $k$ for which such a coloring is possible.
