Draw a line passing through a point $M$ on the angle bisector of the angle $\angle AOB$, that intersects $OA$ and $OB$ at points $K$ and $L$ respectively. Prove that the valus of the sum $\frac{1}{|OK|}+\frac{1}{|OL|}$ does not depend on the choice of the straight line passing through $M$, i.e. is defined by the size of the angle AOB and the selection of the point $M$ only.

each number is equal to the sum of the three nearest to it numbers from the row above it; if the number is at the beginning or at the end of a row then it is equal to the sum of its two nearest numbers or just to the nearest number above it (the lacking numbers above the given one are assumed to be zeros). Prove that each row, starting with the third one, contains an even number.
