A circle $\omega$ with diameter $AK$ is given. The point $M$ lies in the interior of the circle, but not on $AK$. The line $AM$ intersects $\omega$ in $A$ and $Q$. The tangent to $\omega$ at $Q$ intersects the line through $M$ perpendicular to $AK$, at $P$. The point $L$ lies on $\omega$, and is such that $PL$ is tangent to $\omega$ and $L\neq Q$.
Show that $K, L$, and $M$ are collinear.

[b]p7.[/b] There is a store that sells each of the $26$ letters. All letters of the same type cost the same amount (i.e. any ‘a’ costs the same as any other ‘a’), but different letters may or may not cost different amounts. For example, the cost of spelling “trade” is the same as the cost of spelling “tread,” even though the cost of using a ‘t’ may be different from the cost of an ‘r.’ If the letters to spell out $1$ cost $\$1001$, the letters to spell out $2$ cost $\$1010$, and the letters to spell out $11$ cost $\$2015$, how much do the letters to spell out $12$ cost?

Let $S$ be the set of positive integers $N$ with the property that the last four digits of $N$ are $2020$, and when the last four digits are removed, the result is a divisor of $N$. For example, $42,020$ is in $S$ because $4$ is a divisor of $42,020$. Find the sum of all the digits of all the numbers in $S$. For example, the number $42,020$ contributes $4+2+0+2+0=8$ to this total.

Mr. Ganzgenau would like to take his tea mug out of the microwave right at the front. But Mr. Ganzgenau's microwave doesn't really want to be very precise play along. To be precise, the two of them play the following game:
Let $n$ be a positive integer. The turntable of the microwave makes one in $n$ seconds full turn. Each time the microwave is switched on, an integer number of seconds turned either clockwise or counterclockwise so that there are n possible positions in which the tea mug can remain. One of these positions is right up front.
At the beginning, the microwave turns the tea mug to one of the $n$ possible positions. After that Mr. Ganzgenau enters an integer number of seconds in each move, and the microwave decides either clockwise or counterclockwise this number of spin for seconds.
For which $n$ can Mr. Ganzgenau force the tea cup after a finite number of puffs to be able to take it out of the microwave right up front?

[hide=original wording, in case it doesn't make much sense]Herr Ganzgenau möchte sein Teehäferl ganz genau vorne aus der Mikrowelle herausnehmen. Die Mikrowelle von Herrn Ganzgenau möchte da aber so ganz genau gar nicht mitspielen.
Ganz genau gesagt spielen die beiden das folgende Spiel:
Sei n eine positive ganze Zahl. In n Sekunden macht der Drehteller der Mikrowelle eine vollständige Umdrehung. Bei jedem Einschalten der Mikrowelle wird eine ganzzahlige Anzahl von Sekunden entweder im oder gegen den Uhrzeigersinn gedreht, sodass es n mögliche Positionen gibt, auf denen das Teehäferl stehen bleiben kann. Eine dieser Positionen ist ganz genau vorne.
Zu Beginn dreht die Mikrowelle das Teehäferl auf eine der n möglichen Positionen. Danach gibt Herr Ganzgenau in jedem Zug eine ganzzahlige Anzahl von Sekunden ein, und die Mikrowelle entscheidet, entweder im oder gegen den Uhrzeigersinn diese Anzahl von Sekunden lang zu drehen.
Für welche n kann Herr Ganzgenau erzwingen, das Teehäferl nach endlich vielen Zügen ganz genau vorne aus der Mikrowelle nehmen zu können?
