a) A bus network is organized so that:
1) one can reach any stop from any other stop without changing buses;
2) every pair of routes has a single stop at which one can change buses;
3) each route has exactly three stops?
How many bus routes are there? It is assumed that there are at least two routes.
b) A town has $57$ bus routes. How many stops does each route have if it is known that
1) one can reach any stop from any other stop without changing buses;
2) for every pair of routes there is a single stop where one can change buses;
3) each route has three or more stops?

There is a WORD game with the following rules. There are finite number of relations $U_{i}\longrightarrow V_{i}$($U_{i},V_{i}$ are words). There is are two words $A,B$. We start from $A$, and we want to reach to $B$. At each step we can change one subword $U_{i}$ to $V_{i}$. Prove that there does not exist an algorithm that picks up $A,B$ and $U_{i}$'s,$V_{i}$'s and decides whether we can reach from $A$ to $B$ or not.

Players $A$ and $B$ play the following game on the coordinate plane. Player $A$ hides a nut at one of the points with integer coordinates, and player $B$ tries to find this hidden nut. In one move $B$ can choose three different points with integer coordinates, then $A$ tells whether these three points together with the nut's point lie on the same circle or not. Can $B$ be guaranteed to find the nut in a finite number of moves?
