Consider horizontal and vertical segments in the plane that may intersect each other. Let $n$ denote their total number. Suppose that we have $m$ curves starting from the origin that are pairwise disjoint except for their endpoints. Assume that each curve intersects exactly two of the segments, a different pair for each curve. Prove that $m=O(n)$.

On the circle with diameter $AB$, the point $M$ was selected and fixed. Then the point ${{Q} _ {i}}$ is selected, for which the chord $M {{Q} _ {i}}$ intersects $AB$ at the point ${{K} _ {i}}$ and thus $ \angle M {{K} _ {i}} B <90 {} ^ \circ$. A chord that is perpendicular to $AB$ and passes through the point ${{K} _ {i}}$ intersects the line $B {{Q} _ {i}}$ at the point ${{P } _ {i}}$. Prove that the points ${{P} _ {i}}$ in all possible choices of the point ${{Q} _ {i}}$ lie on the same line. (Igor Nagel)

Consider a pool table with the shape of an equilateral triangle. A ball of negligible size is initially placed at the center of the table. After it has been hit, it will keep moving in the direction it was hit towards and bounce off any edges with perfect symmetry. If it eventually reaches the midpoint of any edge, we mark the midpoint of the entire route that the ball has travelled through. Repeating this experiment, how many points can we mark at most?
