Peter and Basil take turns drawing roads on a plane, Peter starts. The road is either horizontal or a vertical line along which one can drive in only one direction (that direction is determined when the road is drawn). Can Basil always act in such a way that after each of his moves one could drive according to the rules between any two constructed crossroads, regardless of Peter's actions? Alexandr Perepechko

$ m$ and $ n$ are positive integers. In a $ 8 \times 8$ chessboard, $ (m,n)$ denotes the number of grids a Horse can jump in a chessboard ($ m$ horizontal $ n$ vertical or $ n$ horizontal $ m$ vertical ). If a $ (m,n) \textbf{Horse}$ starts from one grid, passes every grid once and only once, then we call this kind of Horse jump route a $ \textbf{H Route}$. For example, the $ (1,2) \textbf{Horse}$ has its $ \textbf{H Route}$. Find the smallest positive integer $ t$, such that from any grid of the chessboard, the $ (t,t\plus{}1) \textbf{Horse}$ does not has any $ \textbf{H Route}$.

For a triangle $T = ABC$ we take the point $X$ on the side $(AB)$ such that $AX/AB=4/5$, the point $Y$ on the segment $(CX)$ such that $CY = 2YX$ and, if possible, the point $Z$ on the ray ($CA$ such that $\widehat{CXZ} = 180 - \widehat{ABC}$. We denote by $\Sigma$ the set of all triangles $T$ for which $\widehat{XYZ} = 45$. Prove that all triangles from $\Sigma$ are similar and find the measure of their smallest angle.
