Let ABC be a triangle with angles $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$ commensurable with $\pi$. Starting from a point $P$ interior to the triangle, a ball reflects on the sides of $ABC$, respecting the law of reflection that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Prove that, supposing that the ball never reaches any of the vertices $A,B,C$, the set of all directions in which the ball will move through time is finite. In other words, its path from the moment $0$ to infinity consists of segments parallel to a finite set of lines.

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with circumcircle $\Gamma$. Let $\omega_0$ be a circle tangent to chord $AB$ and arc $ACB$. For each $i = 1, 2$, let $\omega_i$ be a circle tangent to $AB$ at $T_i$ , to $\omega_0$ at $S_i$ , and to arc $ACB$. Suppose $\omega_1 \ne \omega_2$.

In a pile you have 100 stones. A partition of the pile in $ k$ piles is [i]good[/i] if:
1) the small piles have different numbers of stones;
2) for any partition of one of the small piles in 2 smaller piles, among the $ k \plus{} 1$ piles you get 2 with the same number of stones (any pile has at least 1 stone).
Find the maximum and minimal values of $ k$ for which this is possible.

The schoolboy wrote a homework essay on the topic “How I spent my summer.” Two of his comrades from a neighboring school decided not to bother themselves with work and rewrote his essay. But while rewriting they made several mistakes - each their own. Before submitting their work, both students gave their essays to four other friends to rewrite (each gave them to two acquaintances). These four schoolchildren do the same, and so on. With each rewrite, all previous mistakes are saved and, possibly, new ones are made. It is known that on some day each new essay contained at least $10$ errors. Prove that there was a day when at least $11$ new mistakes were made in total.
