Let C1C_{1}, C2C_{2} be circles intersecting in XX, YY . Let AA, DD be points on C1C_{1} and BB, CC on C2C_2 such that AA, XX, CC are collinear and DD, XX, BB are collinear. The tangent to circle C1C_{1} at DD intersects BCBC and the tangent to C2C_{2} at BB in PP, RR respectively. The tangent to C2C_2 at CC intersects ADAD and tangent to C1C_1 at AA, in QQ, SS respectively. Let WW be the intersection of ADAD with the tangent to C2C_{2} at BB and ZZ the intersection of BCBC with the tangent to C1C_1 at AA. Prove that the circumcircles of triangles YWZYWZ, RSYRSY and PQYPQY have two points in common, or are tangent in the same point.

We will call a pair of positive integers (n,k)(n, k) with k>1k > 1 a lovelylovely couplecouple if there exists a table nxnnxn consisting of ones and zeros with following properties: • In every row there are exactly kk ones. • For each two rows there is exactly one column such that on both intersections of that column with the mentioned rows, number one is written. Solve the following subproblems: a) Let d1d \neq 1 be a divisor of nn. Determine all remainders that dd can give when divided by 66. b) Prove that there exist infinitely many lovely couples.
