Kuba has two finite families $\mathcal{A}, \mathcal{B}$ of convex polygons (in the plane). It turns out that every point of the plane lies in the same number of elements of $\mathcal{A}$ as elements of $\mathcal{B}$. Prove that $|\mathcal{A}| = |\mathcal{B}|$.

\textit{Note:} We treat segments and points as degenerate convex polygons, and they can be elements of $\mathcal{A}$ or $\mathcal{B}$.

Given $\triangle ABC$. Let the perpendicular line from $A$ to $BC$ meets $BC,\odot(ABC)$ at points $S,K$, respectively, and the foot from $B$ to $AC$ is $L$. $\odot (AKL)$ intersects line $AB$ at $T(\neq A)$, $\odot(AST)$ intersects line $AC$ at $M(\neq A)$, and lines $TM,CK$ intersect at $N$.

Prove that $\odot(CNM)$ is tangent to $\odot (BST)$.

Let $a_1 < a_2 <  \cdots <a_n$ be pairwise coprime positive integers with $a_1$ being prime and $a_1 \ge n + 2$. On the segment $I = [0, a_1 a_2  \cdots a_n ]$ of the real line, mark all integers that are divisible by at least one of the numbers $a_1 ,   \ldots , a_n$ . These points split $I$ into a number of smaller segments. Prove that the sum of the squares of the lengths of these segments is divisible by $a_1$.

Someone please evaluate this ratio inside the log for any given n(I feel the sum doesn't have any nice closed form).

Let $a,\ b,\ c$ be positive real numbers.

Prove that

$$\sqrt[3]{\left(\frac{a^{2022}-a}{b}+\frac{2021}{a^{\frac{a}{b}}}+1\right)\left(\frac{b^{2022}-b}{c}+\frac{2021}{b^{\frac{b}{c}}}+1\right)\left(\frac{c^{2022}-c}{a}+\frac{2021}{c^{\frac{c}{a}}}+1\right)}$$
$$\geq 2022.$$
