A square is divided into rectangles.
A "chain" is a subset $K$ of the set of these rectangles such that there exists a side of the square which is covered by projections of rectangles of $K$ and such that no point of this side is a projection of two inner points of two inner points of two different rectangles of $K$.
(a) Prove that every two rectangles in such a division are members of a certain "chain".
(b) Solve the similar problem for a cube, divided into rectangular parallelopipeds (in the definition of chain , replace "side" by"edge") .

Legs $L_1, L_2, L_3, L_4$ of a square table each have length $n$, where $n$ is a positive integer. For how many ordered 4-tuples $(k_1, k_2, k_3, k_4)$ of nonnegative integers can we cut a piece of length $k_i$ from the end of leg $L_i \; (i=1,2,3,4)$ and still have a stable table?
(The table is [i]stable[/i] if it can be placed so that all four of the leg ends touch the floor. Note that a cut leg of length 0 is permitted.)

Prove that there exists an ellipsoid touching all edges of an octahedron if and only if the octahedron's diagonals intersect. (Here an octahedron is a polyhedron consisting of eight triangular faces, twelve edges, and six vertices such that four faces meat at each vertex. The diagonals of an octahedron are the lines connecting pairs of vertices not connected by an edge).
