The numbers from $1$ to $100$ are placed without repetition in each cell of a \(10 \times 10\) board. An increasing path of length \(k\) on this board is a sequence of cells \(c_1, c_2, \ldots, c_k\) such that, for each \(i = 2, 3, \ldots, k\), the following properties are satisfied: • The cells \(c_i\) and \(c_{i-1}\) share a side or a vertex; • The number in \(c_i\) is greater than the number in \(c_{i-1}\). What is the largest positive integer \(k\) for which we can always find an increasing path of length \(k\), regardless of how the numbers from 1 to 100 are arranged on the board?

A circle with radius $R$ is divided into twelve equal parts. The twelve dividing points are connected with the centre of the circle, producing twelve rays. Starting from one of the dividing points a segment is drawn perpendicular to the next ray in the clockwise sense; from the foot of this perpendicular another perpendicular segment is drawn to the next ray, and the process is continued [i]ad infinitum[/i]. What is the limit of the sum of these segments (in terms of $R$)? [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/2/6/83705b54ecc817b7d913468cd8467d7b8d9f8f.png[/img]

Catherine lowers five matching wooden discs over bars placed on the vertices of a regular pentagon. Then she leaves five smaller congruent checkers these rods drop. Then she stretches a ribbon around the large discs and a second ribbon around the small discs. The first ribbon has a length of $56$ centimeters and the second one of $50$ centimeters. Catherine looks at her construction from above and sees an area demarcated by the two ribbons. What is the area of that area?
