Find EG/EF in terms of t for tangent-line circle config

Chords AB and CD of a circle intersect at a point E inside the circle. Let M be an interior point of the segment EB. The tangent line at E to the circle through D, E, and M intersects the lines BC and AC at F and G, respectively. If AM AB = t, find EG EF in terms of t.

Smallest k making every coloring of 2n-1 points good

Let n ≥3 and consider a set E of 2n −1 distinct points on a circle. Suppose that exactly k of these points are to be colored black. Such a coloring is “good” if there is at least one pair of black points such that the interior of one of the arcs between them contains exactly n points from E. Find the smallest value of k so that every such coloring of k points of E is good.

winning strategies by n0

Given an initial integer n0 > 1, two players, A and B, choose integers n1, n2, n3, … alternately according to the following rules: Knowing n2k, A chooses any integer n2k+1 such that n2k ≤n2k+1 ≤n2 2k. Knowing n2k+1, B chooses any integer n2k+2 such that n2k+1 n2k+2 is a prime raised to a positive integer power. Player A wins the game by choosing the number 1990; player B wins by choosing the number 1. For which n0 does: (a) A have a winning strategy? (b) B have a winning strategy? (c) Neither player have a winning strategy?
