Point $O$ is the center of the circumscribed circle of triangle $ABC$. Ray $AO$ intersects the side $BC$ at point $T$. With $AT$ as a diameter, a circle is constructed. At the intersection with the sides of the triangle $ABC$, three arcs were formed outside it. Prove that the larger of these arcs is equal to the sum of the other two. (Oleksii Karliuchenko)

Evin and Jerry are playing a game with a pile of marbles. On each players' turn, they can remove $2$, $3$, $7$, or $8$ marbles. If they can’t make a move, because there's $0$ or $1$ marble left, they lose the game. Given that Evin goes first and both players play optimally, for how many values of $n$ from $1$ to $1434$ does Evin lose the game? [i]Proposed by Evin Liang[/i] [hide=Solution][i]Solution.[/i] $\boxed{573}$ Observe that no matter how many marbles a one of them removes, the next player can always remove marbles such that the total number of marbles removed is $10$. Thus, when the number of marbles is a multiple of $10$, the first player loses the game. We analyse this game based on the number of marbles modulo $10$: If the number of marbles is $0$ modulo $10$, the first player loses the game If the number of marbles is $2$, $3$, $7$, or $8$ modulo $10$, the first player wins the game by moving to $0$ modulo 10 If the number of marbles is $5$ modulo $10$, the first player loses the game because every move leads to $2$, $3$, $7$, or $8$ modulo $10$ In summary, the first player loses if it is $0$ mod 5, and wins if it is $2$ or $3$ mod $5$. Now we solve the remaining cases by induction. The first player loses when it is $1$ modulo $5$ and wins when it is $4$ modulo $5$. The base case is when there is $1$ marble, where the first player loses because there is no move. When it is $4$ modulo $5$, then the first player can always remove $3$ marbles and win by the inductive hypothesis. When it is $1$ modulo $5$, every move results in $3$ or $4$ modulo $5$, which allows the other player to win by the inductive hypothesis. Thus, Evin loses the game if n is $0$ or $1$ modulo $5$. There are $\boxed{573}$ such values of $n$ from $1$ to $1434$.[/hide]

Mike leaves home and drives slowly east through city traffic. When he reaches the highway he drives east more rapidly until he reaches the shopping mall where he stops. He shops at the mall for an hour. Mike returns home by the same route as he came, driving west rapidly along the highway and then slowly through city traffic. Each graph shows the distance from home on the vertical axis versus the time elapsed since leaving home on the horizontal axis. Which graph is the best representation of Mike's trip?
