There are $10$ cities in each of the three countries. Each road connects two cities from two different countries (there is at most one road between any two cities.) There are more than $200$ roads between these three countries. Prove that three cities, one city from each country, can be chosen such that there is a road between any two of these cities.
Let $\omega$ be the incircle of $\triangle ABC$ and $D,E,F$ be the tangency points on $BC ,CA, AB$. In $\triangle DEF$ let the altitudes from $E,F$ to $FD,DE$ intersect $AB, AC$ at $X ,Y$. Prove that the second intersection of $(AEX)$ and $(AFY)$ lies on $\omega$
