A $8 \times 8$ board is given, with sides directed north-south and east-west. It is divided into $1 \times 1$ cells in the usual manner. In each cell, there is most one [i]house[/i]. A house occupies only one cell. A house is [i] in the shade[/i] if there is a house in each of the cells in the south, east and west sides of its cell. In particular, no house placed on the south, east or west side of the board is in the shade. Find the maximal number of houses that can be placed on the board such that no house is in the shade.

Let $n$ be an integer greater than 1. Suppose $2n$ points are given in the plane, no three of which are collinear. Suppose $n$ of the given $2n$ points are colored blue and the other $n$ colored red. A line in the plane is called a [i]balancing line[/i] if it passes through one blue and one red point and, for each side of the line, the number of blue points on that side is equal to the number of red points on the same side. Prove that there exist at least two balancing lines.
