Arranged in a circle are 20102010 digits, each of them equal to 11, 22, or 33. For each positive integer kk, it's known that in any block of 3k3k consecutive digits, each of the digits appears at most k+10k+10 times. Prove that there is a block of several consecutive digits with the same number of 11s, 22s, and 33s.

In a cyclic quadrilateral ABCDABCD, the extensions of sides ABAB and CDCD meet at point PP, and the extensions of sides ADAD and BCBC meet at point QQ. Prove that the distance between the orthocenters of triangles APDAPD and AQBAQB is equal to the distance between the orthocenters of triangles CQDCQD and BPCBPC.
