The figure on the right shows the map of Squareville, where each city block is of the same length. Two friends, Alexandra and Brianna, live at the corners marked by $A$ and $B$, respectively. They start walking toward each other's house, leaving at the same time, walking with the same speed, and independently choosing a path to the other's house with uniform distribution out of all possible minimum-distance paths [that is, all minimum-distance paths are equally likely]. What is the probability they will meet?

Some bishops and knights are placed on an infinite chessboard, where each square has side length $1$ unit. Suppose that the following conditions hold: [list] [*] For each bishop, there exists a knight on the same diagonal as that bishop (there may be another piece between the bishop and the knight). [*] For each knight, there exists a bishop that is exactly $\sqrt{5}$ units away from it. [*] If any piece is removed from the board, then at least one of the above conditions is no longer satisfied. [/list] If $n$ is the total number of pieces on the board, find all possible values of $n$. [i]Sheldon Kieren Tan[/i]

A parallelogram $ABCD$ is split by the diagonal $BD$ into two equal triangles. A regular hexagon is inscribed into the triangle $ABD$ so that two of its consecutive sides lie on $AB$ and $AD$ and one of its vertices lies on $BD$. Another regular hexagon is inscribed into the triangle $CBD{}$ so that two of its consecutive vertices lie on $CB$ and $CD$ and one of its sides lies on $BD$. Which of the hexagons is bigger?
