Consider a $3\times7$ grid of squares. Each square may be coloured green or white.
[list]
(a) Is it possible to find a colouring so that no subrectangle has all four corner squares of the same colour?
(b) Is it possible for a $4\times 6$ grid?
[/list]
[i]Subrectangles must have their corners at grid-points of the original diagram. The corner squares of a subrectangle must be different. The original diagram is a subrectangle of itself.[/i]

I tried to search SRMC problems,but i didn't find them(I found only SRMC 2006).Maybe someone know where on this site i could find SRMC problems?I have all SRMC problems,if someone want i could post them, :wink:
Here is one of them,this is one nice inequality from first SRMC:
Let $ n$ be an integer with $ n>2$ and $ a_{1},a_{2},\dots,a_{n}\in R^{\plus{}}$.Given any positive integers $ t,k,p$ with $ 1<t<n$,set $ m\equal{}k\plus{}p$,prove the following inequalities:
a)
$ \frac{a_{1}^{p}}{a_{2}^{k}\plus{}a_{3}^{k}\plus{}\dots\plus{}a_{t}^{k}}\plus{}\frac{a_{2}^{p}}{a_{3}^{k}\plus{}a_{4}^{k}\plus{}\dots\plus{}a_{t\plus{}1}^{k}}\plus{}\dots\plus{}\frac{a_{n\minus{}1}^{p}}{a_{n}^{k}\plus{}a_{1}^{k}\plus{}\dots\plus{}a_{t\minus{}2}^{k}}\plus{}\frac{a_{n}^{p}}{a_{1}^{k}\plus{}a_{2}^{k}\plus{}\dots\plus{}a_{t\minus{}1}^{k}}\geq\frac{(a_{1}^{p}\plus{}a_{2}^{p}\dots\plus{}a_{n}^{p})^{2}}{(t\minus{}1) ( a_{1}^{m}\plus{}a_{2}^{m}\plus{}\dots\plus{}a_{n}^{m})}$
b)$ \frac{a_{2}^{k}\plus{}a_{3}^{k}\dots\plus{}a_{t}^{k}}{a_{1}^{p}}\plus{}\frac{a_{3}^{k}\plus{}a_{4}^{k}\dots\plus{}a_{t\plus{}1}^{k}}{a_{2}^{p}}\plus{}\dots\plus{}\frac{a_{1}^{k}\plus{}a_{2}^{k}\dots\plus{}a_{t\minus{}1}^{k}}{a_{n}^{p}}\geq\frac{(t\minus{}1)(a_{1}^{k}\plus{}a_{2}^{k}\dots\plus{}a_{n}^{k})^{2}}{( a_{1}^{m}\plus{}a_{2}^{m}\plus{}\dots\plus{}a_{n}^{m})}$ :wink:

Let $n$ be an integer greater than $1$ and let $X$ be an $n$-element set. A non-empty collection of subsets $A_1, ..., A_k$ of $X$ is tight if the union $A_1 \cup \cdots \cup A_k$ is a proper subset of $X$ and no element of $X$ lies in exactly one of the $A_i$s. Find the largest cardinality of a collection of proper non-empty subsets of $X$, no non-empty subcollection of which is tight.
[i]Note[/i]. A subset $A$ of $X$ is proper if $A\neq X$. The sets in a collection are assumed to be distinct. The whole collection is assumed to be a subcollection.

For positive integers $a$ and $b$, an $(a,b)$-shuffle of a deck of $a+b$ cards is any shuffle that preserves the relative order of the top $a$ cards and the relative order of the bottom $b$ cards. Let $n$, $k$, $a_1$, $a_2$, $\dots$, $a_k$, $b_1$, $b_2$, $\dots$, $b_k$ be fixed positive integers such that $a_i+b_i=n$ for all $1\leq i\leq k$. Big Bird has a deck of $n$ cards and will perform an $(a_i,b_i)$-shuffle for each $1\leq i\leq k$, in ascending order of $i$. Suppose that Big Bird can reverse the order of the deck. Prove that Big Bird can also achieve any of the $n!$ permutations of the cards.

Rachel writes down a simple inequality: one $2$-digit number is greater than another. Matt is sitting across from Rachel and peeking at her paper. If Matt, reading upside down, sees a valid inequality between two $2$-digit numbers, compute the number of different inequalities that Rachel could have written. Assume that each digit is either a $1, 6, 8$, or $9$.

Consider the square grid with $A=(0,0)$ and $C=(n,n)$ at its diagonal ends. Paths from $A$ to $C$ are composed of moves one unit to the right or one unit up. Let $C_n$ (n-th catalan number) be the number of paths from $A$ to $C$ which stay on or below the diagonal $AC$. Show that the number of paths from $A$ to $C$ which cross $AC$ from below at most twice is equal to $C_{n+2}-2C_{n+1}+C_n$

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Ana and Banana play a game. Banana thinks of a function $f\colon\mathbb{Z}\to\mathbb{Z}$ and a prime number $p$. He tells Ana that $f$ is nonconstant, $p<100$, and $f(x+p)=f(x)$ for all integers $x$. Ana's goal is to determine the value of $p$. She writes down $n$ integers $x_1,\dots,x_n$. After seeing this list, Banana writes down $f(x_1),\dots,f(x_n)$ in order. Ana wins if she can determine the value of $p$ from this information. Find the smallest value of $n$ for which Ana has a winning strategy.
