Let n2n \geq 2 be a natural. Define X={(a1,a2,,an)ak{0,1,2,,k},k=1,2,,n}X = \{ (a_1,a_2,\cdots,a_n) | a_k \in \{0,1,2,\cdots,k\}, k = 1,2,\cdots,n \}. For any two elements s=(s1,s2,,sn)X,t=(t1,t2,,tn)Xs = (s_1,s_2,\cdots,s_n) \in X, t = (t_1,t_2,\cdots,t_n) \in X, define st=(max{s1,t1},max{s2,t2},,max{sn,tn})s \vee t = (\max \{s_1,t_1\},\max \{s_2,t_2\}, \cdots , \max \{s_n,t_n\} ) st=(min{s1,t1},min{s2,t2,},,min{sn,tn})s \wedge t = (\min \{s_1,t_1 \}, \min \{s_2,t_2,\}, \cdots, \min \{s_n,t_n\}) Find the largest possible size of a proper subset AA of XX such that for any s,tAs,t \in A, one has stA,stAs \vee t \in A, s \wedge t \in A.

In cyclic quadrilateral ABCDABCD, AB>BCAB>BC, AD>DCAD>DC, I,JI,J are the incenters of ABC\triangle ABC,ADC\triangle ADC respectively. The circle with diameter ACAC meets segment IBIB at XX, and the extension of JDJD at YY. Prove that if the four points B,I,J,DB,I,J,D are concyclic, then X,YX,Y are the reflections of each other across ACAC.
