In one of the adjoining figures a square of side $2$ is dissected into four pieces so that $E$ and $F$ are the midpoints of opposite sides and $AG$ is perpendicular to $BF$. These four pieces can then be reassembled into a rectangle as shown in the second figure. The ratio of height to base, $XY$ / $YZ$, in this rectangle is

Let $n \geq 2$ be a positive integer. There are $2n$ cities $M_1, M_2, \ldots, M_{2n}$ in the country of Mathlandia. Currently there roads only between $M_1$ and $M_2, M_3, \ldots, M_n$ and the king wants to build more roads so that it is possible to reach any city from every other city. The cost to build a road between $M_i$ and $M_j$ is $k_{i, j}>0$. Let $$K=\sum_{j=n+1}^{2n} k_{1,j}+\sum_{2 \leq i<j \leq 2n} k_{i, j}.$$Prove that the king can fulfill his plan at cost no more than $\frac{2K}{3n-1}$.

One of the sides of the triangle is divided by the ratio $p: q$, and the other by $m: n: k$. The obtained division points of the sides are connected to the opposite vertices of the triangle by straight lines. Find the ratio of the area of this triangle to the area of the quadrilateral formed by three such lines and one of the sides of the triangle.

For any positive integer $m \geq 2$, let $p(m)$ be the smallest prime dividing $m$ and $P(m)$ be the largest prime dividing $m$. Let $C$ be a positive integer. Define sequences $\{a_n\}$ and $\{b_n\}$ by $a_0 = b_0 = C$ and, for each positive integer $k$ such that $a_{k-1}\geq 2$,
$$a_k=a_{k-1}-\frac{a_{k-1}}{p(a_{k-1})};$$
and, for each positive integer $k$ such that $b_{k-1}\geq 2$,
$$b_k=b_{k-1}-\frac{b_{k-1}}{P(b_{k-1})}$$
It is easy to see that both $\{a_n\}$ and $\{b_n\}$ are finite sequences which terminate when they reach the number $1$.
Prove that the numbers of terms in the two sequences are always equal.

John and James wish to divide $25$ coins, of denominations $1, 2, 3, \ldots , 25$ kopeks. In each move, one of them chooses a coin, and the other player decides who must take this coin. John makes the initial choice of a coin, and in subsequent moves, the choice is made by the player having more kopeks at the time. In the event that there is a tie, the choice is made by the same player in the preceding move. After all the coins have been taken, the player with more kopeks wins. Which player has a winning strategy?
