On Misha's new phone, a passlock consists of six circles arranged in a $2\times 3$ rectangle. The lock is opened by a continuous path connecting the six circles; the path cannot pass through a circle on the way between two others (e.g. the top left and right circles cannot be adjacent). For example, the left path shown below is allowed but the right path is not. (Paths are considered to be oriented, so that a path starting at $A$ and ending at $B$ is different from a path starting at $B$ and ending at $A$. However, in the diagrams below, the paths are valid/invalid regardless of orientation.) How many passlocks are there consisting of all six circles?

In a checked $ 17\times 17$ table, $ n$ squares are colored in black. We call a line any of rows, columns, or any of two diagonals of the table. In one step, if at least $ 6$ of the squares in some line are black, then one can paint all the squares of this line in black.
Find the minimal value of $ n$ such that for some initial arrangement of $ n$ black squares one can paint all squares of the table in black in some steps.

We say that a finite set $S$ of red and green points in the plane is [i]separable[/i] if there exists a triangle $\delta$ such that all points of one colour lie strictly inside $\delta$ and all points of the other colour lie strictly outside of $\delta$. Let $A$ be a finite set of red and green points in the plane, in general position. Is it always true that if every $1000$ points in $A$ form a separable set then $A$ is also separable?
Let $ABC$ be a triangle and let $P$ denote the midpoint of the side $BC$. Suppose that there exist two points $M$ and $N$ interior to the side $AB$ and $AC$ respectively, such that $$|AD|=|DM|=2|DN|,$$ where $D$ is the intersection point of the lines $MN$ and $AP$. Show that $|AC|=|BC|$.
