Scores of a math competition

A TV station holds a math talent competition, where each participant will be scored by 8 people. The scores are F (failed), G (good), or E (exceptional). The competition is participated by three people, A, B, and C. In the competition, A and B get the same score from exactly 4 people. C states that he has differing scores with A from at least 4 people, and also differing scores with B from at least 4 people. Assuming C tells the truth, how many scoring schemes can occur?

Let ω\omega be a circle with center OO, and let ll be a line not intersecting ω\omega. EE is a point on ll such that OEOE is perpendicular with ll. Let MM be an arbitrary point on MM different from EE. Let AA and BB be distinct points on the circle ω\omega such that MAMA and MBMB are tangents to ω\omega. Let CC and DD be the foot of perpendiculars from EE to MAMA and MBMB respectively. Let FF be the intersection of CDCD and OEOE. As MM moves, determine the locus of FF.

Let TT be the set of all 2-digit numbers whose digits are in {1,2,3,4,5,6}\{1,2,3,4,5,6\} and the tens digit is strictly smaller than the units digit. Suppose SS is a subset of TT such that it contains all six digits and no three numbers in SS use all six digits. If the cardinality of SS is nn, find all possible values of nn.
