To two circles $r_1$ and $r_2$, intersecting at points $A$ and $B$, their common tangent $CD$ is drawn ($C$ and $D$ are tangency points, respectively, point $B$ is closer to line $CB$ than $A$). Line passing through $A$ , intersects $r_1$ and $r_2$ for second time at points $K$ and $L$, respectively ($A$ lies between $K$ and $L$). Lines $KC$ and $LD$ intersect at point $P$. Prove that $PB$ is the symmedian of triangle $KPL$. (Yu. Blinkov)

Given any collection of $2010$ nondegenerate triangles, their sides are painted so that each triangle has one red side, one blue side, and one white side. For each color, arrange the side lengths in order: [list][*]let $b_1\le b_2\le\cdots\le b_{2011}$ denote the lengths of the blue sides; [*]let $r_1\le r_2\le\cdots\le r_{2011}$ denote the lengths of the red sides; and [*]let $w_1\le w_2\le\cdots\le w_{2011}$ denote the lengths of the white sides.[/list] Find the largest integer $k$ for which there necessarily exists at least $k$ indices $j$ such that $b_j$, $r_j$, $w_j$ are the side lengths of a nondegenerate triangle.

This requires some imagination and creative thinking: Prove or disprove: There exists a solid such that, for all positive integers $n$ with $n \geq 3$, there exists a "parallel projection" (I hope the terminology is clear) such that the image of the solid under this projection is a convex $n$-gon.

Olya wrote fractions of the form $1 / n$ on cards, where $n$ is all possible divisors the numbers $6^{100}$ (including the unit and the number itself). These cards she laid out in some order. After that, she wrote down the number on the first card, then the sum of the numbers on the first and second cards, then the sum of the numbers on the first three cards, etc., finally, the sum of the numbers on all the cards. Every amount Olya recorded on the board in the form of irreducible fraction. What is the least different denominators could be on the numbers on the board?
