Three circles $k_1, k_2$, and $k_3$ intersect in point $O$. Let $A, B$, and $C$ be the second intersection points (other than $O$) of $k_2$ and $k_3, k_1$ and $k_3$, and $k_1$ and $k_2$, respectively. Assume that $O$ lies inside of the triangle $ABC$. Let lines $AO,BO$, and $CO$ intersect circles $k_1, k_2$, and $k_3$ for a second time at points $A', B'$, and $C'$, respectively. If $|XY|$ denotes the length of segment $XY$, prove that $\frac{|AO|}{|AA'|}+\frac{|BO|}{|BB'|}+\frac{|CO|}{|CC'|}= 1$
Ana and Banana play a game. First, Ana picks a real number $p$ with $0 \le p \le 1$. Then, Banana picks an integer $h$ greater than $1$ and creates a spaceship with $h$ hit points. Now every minute, Ana decreases the spaceship's hit points by $2$ with probability $1-p$, and by $3$ with probability $p$. Ana wins if and only if the number of hit points is reduced to exactly $0$ at some point (in particular, if the spaceship has a negative number of hit points at any time then Ana loses). Given that Ana and Banana select $p$ and $h$ optimally, compute the integer closest to $1000p$.
