Let $ABCD$ be an isosceles trapezoid, with a large base $CD$ and a small base $AB$. Let $M$ be any point on side $AB$ and $(d)$ be the line through $M$ and perpendicular to $AB$. Two rays $Mx$ and $My$ are said to satisfy the condition $(T)$ if they are symmetric about each other through $(d)$ and intersect the two rays $AD$ and $BC$ at $E$ and $F$ respectively. Find the locus of the midpoint of the segment $EF$ when the two rays $Mx$ and $My$ change and satisfy condition $(T)$.

Given a finite sequence of zeros and ones, which has two properties: a) if in some arbitrary place in the sequence we select five digits in a row and also select five digits in any other place in a row, then these fives will be different (they may overlap); b) if you add any digit to the right of the sequence, then property (a) will no longer hold true. Prove that the first four digits of our sequence coincide with the last four

A domino is a $1 \times 2$ (or 2 $\times 1$) rectangular piece; namely, made up of two squares. There is an $8 \times 8$ board such that each domino can be cover exactly two of its squares. John places $n$ dominoes on the board, so that each one covers exactly two squares of the board and it is no longer possible to place a piece more without overlapping with any of those already placed. Determine the smallest value of $n$ for which the described situation is possible.
