Consider a regular -gon in the plane, where is a positive integer. We say that a point on one of the sides of can be seen from a point that is external to , if the line segment contains no other points that lie on the sides of except . We want to color the sides of in 3 colors, such that every side is colored in exactly one color, and each color must be used at least once. Moreover, from every point in the plane external to , at most 2 different colors on can be seen (ignore the vertices of , we consider them colorless). Find the largest positive integer for which such a coloring is possible.

We have two piles with 2000 and 2017 coins respectively. Ann and Bob take alternate turns making the following moves: The player whose turn is to move picks a pile with at least two coins, removes from that pile coins for some , and adds to the other pile 1 coin. The players can choose a different at each turn, and the player who cannot make a move loses. If Ann plays first determine which player has a winning strategy.
Given a parallelogram . The line perpendicular to passing through and the line perpendicular to passing through intersect at point . The circle centered at point and radius intersects the line at point and the line at point , . Prove that the line passes through the point .
