If $X$ is a finite set, let $X$ denote the number of elements in $X$. Call an ordered pair $(S,T)$ of subsets of $ \{ 1, 2, \cdots, n \} $ $ \emph {admissible} $ if $ s > |T| $ for each $ s \in S $, and $ t > |S| $ for each $ t \in T $. How many admissible ordered pairs of subsets $ \{ 1, 2, \cdots, 10 \} $ are there? Prove your answer.

There are $ m \plus{} 1$ horizontal lines and $ m$ vertical lines on the plane so that $ m(m \plus{} 1)$ intersections are made.
A mark is placed at one of the $ m$ points of the lowest horizontal line.
2 players play the game of the following rules on this lines and points.
1. Each player moves a mark from a point to a point along the lines in turns.
2. The segment is erased after a mark moved along it.
3. When a player cannot make a move, then he loses.
Prove that the lead always wins the game.

We consider the ways to divide a $1$ by $1$ square into rectangles (of which the sides are parallel to those of the square). All rectangles must have the same circumference, but not necessarily the same shape.
a) Is it possible to divide the square into 20 rectangles, each having a circumference of $2:5$?
b) Is it possible to divide the square into 30 rectangles, each having a circumference of $2$?
