The figures $ F_1$, $ F_2$, $ F_3$, and $ F_4$ shown are the first in a sequence of figures. For $ n\ge3$, $ F_n$ is constructed from $ F_{n \minus{} 1}$ by surrounding it with a square and placing one more diamond on each side of the new square than $ F_{n \minus{} 1}$ had on each side of its outside square. For example, figure $ F_3$ has $ 13$ diamonds. How many diamonds are there in figure $ F_{20}$?

Two farmers agree that pigs are worth $ \$300$ and that goats are worth $ \$210$. When one farmer owes the other money, he pays the debt in pigs or goats, with ``change'' received in the form of goats or pigs as necessary.

On a chess table $n\times m$ we call a [i]move [/i] the following succesion of operations
(i) choosing some unmarked squares, any two not lying on the same row or column;
(ii) marking them with 1;
(iii) marking with 0 all the unmarked squares which lie on the same line and column with a square marked with the number 1 (even if the square has been marked with 1 on another move).
We call a [i]game [/i]a succession of moves that end in the moment that we cannot make any more moves.
What is the maximum possible sum of the numbers on the table at the end of a game?
