Let be given a convex polygon $ M_0M_1\ldots M_{2n}$ ($ n\ge 1$), where $ 2n \plus{} 1$ points $ M_0$, $ M_1$, $ \ldots$, $ M_{2n}$ lie on a circle $ (C)$ with diameter $ R$ in an anticlockwise direction. Suppose that there is a point $ A$ inside this convex polygon such that $ \angle M_0AM_1$, $ \angle M_1AM_2$, $ \ldots$, $ \angle M_{2n \minus{} 1}AM_{2n}$, $ \angle M_{2n}AM_0$ are equal. Assume that $ A$ is not coincide with the center of the circle $ (C)$ and $ B$ be a point lies on $ (C)$ such that $ AB$ is perpendicular to the diameter of $ (C)$ passes through $ A$. Prove that

Simon and Garfunkle play in a round-robin golf tournament. Each player is awarded one point for a victory, a half point for a tie, and no points for a loss. Simon beat Garfunkle in the first game by a record margin as Garfunkle sent a shot over the bridge and into troubled waters on the final hole. Garfunkle went on to score $8$ total victories, but no ties at all. Meanwhile, Simon wound up with exactly $8$ points, including the point for a victory over Garfunkle. Amazingly, every other player at the tournament scored exactly $n$. Find the sum of all possible values of $n$.

A figure $\Phi$ composed of unit squares has the following property: if the squares of an $m \times n$ rectangle ($m,n$ are fixed) are filled with numbers whose sum is positive, the figure $\Phi$ can be placed within the rectangle (possibly after being rotated) so that the sum of the covered numbers is also positive. Prove that a number of such figures can be put on the $m\times n$ rectangle so that each square is covered by the same number of figures.
