In particular, all regular polygons and all triangles have halos. (a) What is the area of the halo of a square with side length 2? (b) What is the area of the halo of a 3-4-5 right triangle? (c) What is the area of the halo of a regular 2016-gon with side length 2?

A coin is biased in such a way that on each toss the probability of heads is $\frac{2}{3}$ and the probability of tails is $\frac{1}{3}$. The outcomes of the tosses are independent. A player has the choice of playing Game A or Game B. In Game A she tosses the coin three times and wins if all three outcomes are the same. In Game B she tosses the coin four times and wins if both the outcomes of the first and second tosses are the same and the outcomes of the third and fourth tosses are the same. How do the chances of winning Game A compare to the chances of winning Game B? $\textbf{(A)} \text{ The probability of winning Game A is }\frac{4}{81}\text{ less than the probability of winning Game B.} $ $\textbf{(B)} \text{ The probability of winning Game A is }\frac{2}{81}\text{ less than the probability of winning Game B.}$ $\textbf{(C)} \text{ The probabilities are the same.}$ $\textbf{(D)} \text{ The probability of winning Game A is }\frac{2}{81}\text{ greater than the probability of winning Game B.}$ $\textbf{(E)} \text{ The probability of winning Game A is }\frac{4}{81}\text{ greater than the probability of winning Game B.}$

We consider tilings of a rectangular $m \times n$-board with $1\times2$-tiles. The tiles can be placed either horizontally, or vertically, but they aren't allowed to overlap and to be placed partially outside of the board. All squares on theboard must be covered by a tile. (a) Prove that for every tiling of a $4 \times 2010$-board with $1\times2$-tiles there is a straight line cutting the board into two pieces such that every tile completely lies within one of the pieces. (b) Prove that there exists a tiling of a $5 \times  2010$-board with $1\times 2$-tiles such that there is no straight line cutting the board into two pieces such that every tile completely lies within one of the pieces.

A ship tries to land in the fog. The crew does not know the direction to the land. They see a lighthouse on a little island, and they understand that the distance to the lighthouse does not exceed 10 km (the exact distance is not known). The distance from the lighthouse to the land equals 10 km. The lighthouse is surrounded by reefs, hence the ship cannot approach it. Can the ship land having sailed the distance not greater than 75 km? ([i]The waterside is a straight line, the trajectory has to be given before the beginning of the motion, after that the autopilot navigates the ship[/i].)
