Let $n$ be a positive integer. Yang the Saltant Sanguivorous Shearling is on the side of a very steep mountain that is embedded in the coordinate plane. There is a blood river along the line $y=x$, which Yang may reach but is not permitted to go above (i.e. Yang is allowed to be located at $(2016,2015)$ and $(2016,2016)$, but not at $(2016,2017)$). Yang is currently located at $(0,0)$ and wishes to reach $(n,0)$. Yang is permitted only to make the following moves:
(a) Yang may [i]spring[/i], which consists of going from a point $(x,y)$ to the point $(x,y+1)$.
(b) Yang may [i]stroll[/i], which consists of going from a point $(x,y)$ to the point $(x+1,y)$.
(c) Yang may [i]sink[/i], which consists of going from a point $(x,y)$ to the point $(x,y-1)$.
In addition, whenever Yang does a [i]sink[/i], he breaks his tiny little legs and may no longer do a [i]spring[/i] at any time afterwards. Yang also expends a lot of energy doing a [i]spring[/i] and gets bloodthirsty, so he must visit the blood river at least once afterwards to quench his bloodthirst. (So Yang may still [i]spring[/i] while bloodthirsty, but he may not finish his journey while bloodthirsty.) Let there be $a_n$ different ways for which Yang can reach $(n,0)$, given that Yang is permitted to pass by $(n,0)$ in the middle of his journey. Find the $2016$th smallest positive integer $n$ for which $a_n\equiv 1\pmod 5$.

A figure $\Phi$ composed of unit squares has the following property: if the squares of an $m \times n$ rectangle ($m,n$ are fixed) are filled with numbers whose sum is positive, the figure $\Phi$ can be placed within the rectangle (possibly after being rotated) so that the sum of the covered numbers is also positive. Prove that a number of such figures can be put on the $m\times n$ rectangle so that each square is covered by the same number of figures.
