An ice skater can rotate about a vertical axis with an angular velocity $\omega_\text{0}$ by holding her arms straight out. She can then pull in her arms close to her body so that her angular velocity changes to $2\omega_\text{0}$, without the application of any external torque. What is the ratio of her final rotational kinetic energy to her initial rotational kinetic energy?

A quadrilateral $ABCD$ is circumscribed about a circle $\omega$. The intersection point of $\omega$ and the diagonal $AC$, closest to $A$, is $E$. The point $F$ is diametrally opposite to the point $E$ on the circle $\omega$.

In the figure we see the paths connecting the square of a city (point $P$) with the school (point $S$). In the square there are $k$ pupils starting to go to the school. They have the ability to move only to the right and up. If the pupils are free to choose any allowed path (in order to get to school), determine the minimum value of $k$ so that in any case at least two pupils follow the same path.
