Let $\Gamma_1$ be a circle with centre $A$ and $\Gamma_2$ be a circle with centre $B$, with $A$ lying on $\Gamma_2$. On $\Gamma_2$ there is a (variable) point $P$ not lying on $AB$. A line through $P$ is a tangent of $\Gamma_1$ at $S$, and it intersects $\Gamma_2$ again in $Q$, with $P$ and $Q$ lying on the same side of $AB$. A different line through $Q$ is tangent to $\Gamma_1$ at $T$. Moreover, let $M$ be the foot of the perpendicular to $AB$ through $P$. Let $N$ be the intersection of $AQ$ and $MT$.

$100$ fractions are written on a board, their numerators are numbers from $1$ to $100$ (each once) and denominators are also numbers from $1$ to $100$ (also each once). It appears that the sum of these fractions equals to $a/2$ for some odd $a$. Prove that it is possible to interchange numerators of two fractions so that sum becomes a fraction with odd denominator.

$n(>1)$ lotus leaves are arranged in a circle. A frog jumps from a particular leaf from another under the following rule:
[list]
[*]It always moves clockwise.
[*]From starting it skips one leaf and then jumps to the next. After that it skips two leaves and jumps to the following. And the process continues. (Remember the frog might come back on a leaf twice or more.)[/list]
Given that it reaches all leaves at least once. Show $n$ cannot be odd.
