Triangle $ABC$ is inscribed in a circle $\omega$ such that $\angle A = 60^o$ and $\angle B = 75^o$. Let the bisector of angle $A$ meet $BC$ and $\omega$ at $E$ and $D$, respectively.

There are $n \ge 2$ coins, each with a different positive integer value. Call an integer $m$ [i]sticky [/i] if some subset of these $n$ coins have total value $m$. We call the entire set of coins a stick if all the sticky numbers form a consecutive range of integers. Compute the minimum total value of a stick across all sticks containing a coin of value $100$.

[b]p1.[/b] Consider a triangular grid: nodes of the grid are painted black and white. At a single step you are allowed to change colors of all nodes situated on any straight line (with the slope $0^o$ ,$60^o$, or $120^o$ ) going through the nodes of the grid. Can you transform the combination in the left picture into the one in the right picture in a finite number of steps?
