Let $ABC$ be a right triangle with leg $CB = 2$ and hypotenuse $AB= 4$. Point $K$ is chosen on the hypotenuse $AB$, and point $L$ is chosen on the leg $AC$. a) Describe and justify how to construct such points $K$ and $ L$ so that the sum of the distances $CK+KL$ is the smallest possible. b) Find the smallest possible value of $CK+KL$.

Soma has a tower of $63$ bricks , consisting of $6$ levels. On the $k$-th level from the top, there are $2k-1$ bricks (where $k = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6$), and every brick which is not on the lowest level lies on precisely $2$ smaller bricks (which lie one level below) - see the figure. Soma takes away $7$ bricks from the tower, one by one. He can only remove a brick if there is no brick lying on it. In how many ways can he do this, if the order of removals is considered as well?

Let $ABC$ be an isosceles triangle with base $AB$. A semicircle $\Gamma$ is constructed with its center on the segment AB and which is tangent to the two legs, $AC$ and $BC$. Consider a line tangent to $\Gamma$ which cuts the segments $AC$ and $BC$ at $D$ and $E$, respectively. The line perpendicular to $AC$ at $D$ and the line perpendicular to $BC$ at $E$ intersect each other at $P$. Let $Q$ be the foot of the perpendicular from $P$ to $AB$. Show that $\frac{PQ}{CP}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{AB}{AC}$.
