Determine the locus $L$ of the midpoint of the segment $MN$ if the points $A'$ and $B'$ lie on the circle $O$ or inside it . c) $A'$ is assumed to be fixed on the circle $O$ or inside it and $B'$ is assumed to be movable inside it , except for $O$. Determine the locus of the point $B'$ such the above certain locus $L$ remains the same . Note: For b) and c) the following cases should be considered: 1. $A'$ and $B'$ are different, 2. $A'$ and $B'$ coincide.

The vertices of two regular octagons are numbered from $1$ to $8$, in some order, which may vary between both octagons (each octagon must have all numbers from $1$ to $8$). After this, one octagon is placed on top of the other so that every vertex from one octagon touches a vertex from the other. Then, the numbers of the vertices which are in contact are multiplied (i.e., if vertex $A$ has a number $x$ and is on top of vertex $A'$ that has a number $y$, then $x$ and $y$ are multiplied), and the $8$ products are then added. Prove that, for any order in which the vertices may have been numbered, it is always possible to place one octagon on top of the other so that the final sum is at least $162$. Note: the octagons can be rotated.
