Let $A$ and $B$ be points on a circle $\mathcal{C}$ with center $O$ such that $\angle AOB = \dfrac {\pi}2$. Circles $\mathcal{C}_1$ and $\mathcal{C}_2$ are internally tangent to $\mathcal{C}$ at $A$ and $B$ respectively and are also externally tangent to one another. The circle $\mathcal{C}_3$ lies in the interior of $\angle AOB$ and it is tangent externally to $\mathcal{C}_1$, $\mathcal{C}_2$ at $P$ and $R$ and internally tangent to $\mathcal{C}$ at $S$. Evaluate the value of $\angle PSR$.

Let $m$ and $n$ be positive integers. Mr. Fat has a set $S$ containing every rectangular tile with integer side lengths and area of a power of $2$. Mr. Fat also has a rectangle $R$ with dimensions $2^m \times 2^n$ and a $1 \times 1$ square removed from one of the corners. Mr. Fat wants to choose $m + n$ rectangles from $S$, with respective areas $2^0, 2^1, \ldots, 2^{m + n - 1}$, and then tile $R$ with the chosen rectangles. Prove that this can be done in at most $(m + n)!$ ways.

Given a circle $\omega$ of radius $r$ and a point $A$, which is far from the center of the circle at a distance $d<r$. Find the geometric locus of vertices $C$ of all possible $ABCD$ rectangles, where points $B$ and $D$ lie on the circle $\omega$.
Matías has a rectangular sheet of paper $ABCD$, with $AB<AD$.Initially, he folds the sheet along a straight line $AE$, where $E$ is a point on the side $DC$ , so that vertex $D$ is located on side $BC$, as shown in the figure. Then folds the sheet again along a straight line $AF$, where $F$ is a point on side $BC$, so that vertex $B$ lies on the line $AE$; and finally folds the sheet along the line $EF$. Matías observed that the vertices $B$ and $C$ were located on the same point of segment $AE$ after making the folds. Calculate the measure of the angle $\angle DAE$.
