[b]p1.[/b] The case of Mr. Brown, Mr. Potter, and Mr. Smith is investigated. One of them has committed a crime. Everyone of them made two statements.
Mr. Brown: I have not done it. Mr. Potter has not done it.
Mr. Potter: Mr. Brown has not done it. Mr. Smith has done it.
Mr. Smith: I have not done it. Mr. Brown has done it.
It is known that one of them told the truth both times, one lied both times, and one told the truth one time and lied one time. Who has committed the crime?
[b]p2.[/b] Is it possible to draw in a plane $1000001$ circles of the radius $1$ such that every circle touches exactly three other circles?
[b]p3.[/b] Consider a circle of radius $R$ centered at the origin. A particle is “launched” from the $x$-axis at a distance, $d$, from the origin with $0 < d < R$, and at an angle, $\alpha$, with the $x$-axis. The particle is reflected from the boundary of the circle so that the [b]angle of incidence[/b] equals the [b]angle of reflection[/b]. Determine the angle $\alpha$ so that the path of the particle contacts the circle’s interior at exactly eight points. Please note that $\alpha$ should be determined in terms of the qunatities $R$ and $d$.

For example, $R_3=111$, $R_5=11111$, etc. When $R_{24}$ is divided by $R_4$, the quotient $Q=\frac{R_{24}}{R_4}$ is an integer whose base-ten representation is a sequence containing only ones and zeros.

Through a lens that inverts the image we look at the rearview mirror of our car. If it reflects the license plate of the car that follows us, $CS-3965-EN$, draw the image we receive. Also draw the one obtained by permuting previous transformations, that is, reflecting in the mirror the image that the license plate gives the lens. Is the product of both transformations , reflection in the mirror and refraction through the lens, commutative?
