Quadric porism

Source: I actually don't know whether this holds, but the application of Riemann-Hurwitz would make sense to some extent
Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a hyperboloid of one sheet and let $\mathcal{Q}$ be another quadric that intersects the hyperboloid at the curve $\mathcal{S}$. Let $P_1$ be a point on $\mathcal{S}$, and let $\ell_1$ be a line through $P_1$ in one specific ruling of the hyperboloid. Let this line intersect $\mathcal{S}$ again at $P_2$, now define $\ell_2$ to be the line through $P_2$ in the opposite ruling. Similarily define $P_3, P_4$. Prove that if $P_4=P_1$ then this is true for all initial choices of $P_1$.

Source: Vincent's Theorem
Let $p(x)$ be a real polynomial of degree $\deg(p)$ that has only simple roots. It is possible to determine a positive quantity $\delta$ so that for every pair of positive real numbers $a$, $b$ with ${\displaystyle |b-a|<\delta }$, every transformed polynomial of the form $${\displaystyle f(x)=(1+x)^{\deg(p)}p\left({\frac {a+bx}{1+x}}\right)}$$has exactly $0$ or $1$ sign variations.

Partitioning coprime integers to arithmetic sequences

N an hour ago by quacksaysduck
Source: 2025 Turkey EGMO TST P3
For a positive integer $n$, let $S_n$ be the set of positive integers that do not exceed $n$ and are coprime to $n$. Define $f(n)$ as the smallest positive integer that allows $S_n$ to be partitioned into $f(n)$ disjoint subsets, each forming an arithmetic progression.

Prove that there exist infinitely many pairs $(a, b)$ satisfying $a, b > 2025$, $a \mid b$, and $f(a) \nmid f(b)$.
