Call a subset of the plane a circular set iff there exists a point such that for every ray starting from it, the ray intersects the subset once. show that the plane is a countable union of circular sets.
[hide=idea] let H be a transcendence basis of R over Q. let $\{h_1,h_2,...\}$ be a subset of H. let $K_n$ be the field of real numbers that are algebraic over $H\setminus\{h_n\}$. $K_n\times K_n$ can be covered by a circular set $J_n$. $R\times R\subseteq \cup (K_n\times K_n) \subseteq \cup J_n \subseteq R\times R$
the first inclusion proof: x,y algebraically depend on H, so they depend on H', where H' is a finite subset of H.

In a quadrilateral $ABCD$ let $A', B', C'$ and $D'$ be the circumcenters of the triangles $BCD, CDA, DAB$ and $ABC$, respectively. Denote by $S(X, YZ)$ the plane which passes through the point $X$ and is perpendicular to the line $YZ.$ Prove that if $A', B', C'$ and $D'$ don't lie in a plane, then four planes $S(A, C'D'), S(B, A'D'), S(C, A'B')$ and $S(D, B'C')$ pass through a common point.
Several teams from Littletown and Bigtown took part on a tournament. There were nine more teams from Bigtown than those from Littletown. Any two teams played exactly one match, and the winner and loser got 1 and 0 points respectively (no ties). The teams from Bigtown in total gained nine times more points than those from Littletown. What is the maximum possible number of wins of the best team from Littletown?

In quadrilateral $ABCD$, a circle $\omega$ is inscribed. A point $K$ is chosen on diagonal $AC$. Segment $BK$ intersects $\omega$ at a unique point $X$, and segment $DK$ intersects $\omega$ at a unique point $Y$. It turns out that $XY$ is the diameter of $\omega$. Prove that it is perpendicular to $AC$.

A blackboard contains 68 pairs of nonzero integers. Suppose that for each positive integer $k$ at most one of the pairs $(k, k)$ and $(-k, -k)$ is written on the blackboard. A student erases some of the 136 integers, subject to the condition that no two erased integers may add to 0. The student then scores one point for each of the 68 pairs in which at least one integer is erased. Determine, with proof, the largest number $N$ of points that the student can guarantee to score regardless of which 68 pairs have been written on the board.
Let $E: R^n \backslash \{0\} \to R^+$ be a infinitely differentiable, quadratic positive homogeneous (that is, for any λ>0 and $p \in R^n \backslash \{0\}$ , $E (\lambda p) = \lambda^2 E (p)$). Prove that if the second derivative of $E''(p): R^n \times R^n \to R$ is a non-degenerate bilinear form at any point $p \in R^n \backslash \{0\}$, then $E''(p)$ ($p \in R^n \backslash \{0\}$) is positive definite.
