We will say that a natural number is [i]acceptable[/i] if it has at most $9$ distinct prime divisors. There is a stack of $100!=1\times2\times\cdots\times100$ stones. A [i]legal move[/i] consists in removing $k$ stones from the stack, where $k$ is an acceptable number. Two players, Lucas and Nicolas, take turns making legal moves; Lucas starts the game. The one who removes the last stone wins. Determine which of the players has a winning strategy and describe this strategy.

In $\triangle ABC$, $E$ is the midpoint of side $BC$ and $D$ is on side $AC$. If the length of $AC$ is $1$ and $\measuredangle BAC = 60^\circ$, $\measuredangle ABC = 100^\circ$, $\measuredangle ACB = 20^\circ$ and $\measuredangle DEC = 80^\circ$, then the area of $\triangle ABC$ plus twice the area of $\triangle CDE$ equals
$\textbf{(A) }\frac{1}{4}\cos 10^\circ\qquad\textbf{(B) }\frac{\sqrt{3}}{8}\qquad\textbf{(C) }\frac{1}{4}\cos 40^\circ\qquad\textbf{(D) }\frac{1}{4}\cos 50^\circ\qquad\textbf{(E) }\frac{1}{8}$

Let $\Gamma$ be a circle and let $d$ be a line such that $\Gamma$ and $d$ have no common points. Further, let $AB$ be a diameter of the circle $\Gamma$; assume that this diameter $AB$ is perpendicular to the line $d$, and the point $B$ is nearer to the line $d$ than the point $A$. Let $C$ be an arbitrary point on the circle $\Gamma$, different from the points $A$ and $B$. Let $D$ be the point of intersection of the lines $AC$ and $d$. One of the two tangents from the point $D$ to the circle $\Gamma$ touches this circle $\Gamma$ at a point $E$; hereby, we assume that the points $B$ and $E$ lie in the same halfplane with respect to the line $AC$. Denote by $F$ the point of intersection of the lines $BE$ and $d$. Let the line $AF$ intersect the circle $\Gamma$ at a point $G$, different from $A$.
Prove that the reflection of the point $G$ in the line $AB$ lies on the line $CF$.
