Calvin and Hobbes play a game. First, Hobbes picks a family of subsets of , known to both players. Then, Calvin and Hobbes take turns choosing a number from which is not already chosen, with Calvin going first, until all numbers are taken (i.e., each player has numbers). Calvin wins if he has chosen all the elements of some member of , otherwise Hobbes wins. What is the largest possible size of a family that Hobbes could pick while still having a winning strategy?
Let be an acute triangle with circumcenter and orthocenter . Let denote the circumcircle of triangle , and the midpoint of . The tangents to at and , and the line through perpendicular to line , determine a triangle whose circumcircle we denote by . Define and similarly. Prove that the common chords of , and are concurrent on line .
