Cookies should be placed on a $7 \times 7$ chess board, so that never four cookies can form a rectangle whose sides are parallel to those of the chessboard. Find the maximum number of biscuits that can be positioned in this way.
Note: If you do the same job for a $13 \times 13$ chessboard, you get a biscuit.
If you solve it for an infinite number of squares of chessboards, you get two biscuits.
If you solve them for all sidelengths, , you even get two three biscuits
(We cannot distribute more cookies, otherwise we run the risk of them to form a rectangle).

In convex quadrilateral $ABCD$, only $D$ is an obtuse angle. Use some line segments to divide it into $n$ obtuse triangles. But on its sides (except $A,B,C,D$ ), there is no vertex of triangles we divided into.

In the interior of square $ABCD$ with side length $1$, a point $P$ is chosen such that the lines $\ell_1, \ell_2$ through $P$ parallel to $AC$ and $BD$, respectively, divide the square into four distinct regions, the smallest of which has area $\mathcal{R}$. The area of the region of all points $P$ for which $\mathcal{R} \geq \tfrac{1}{6}$ can be expressed as $\frac{a-b\sqrt{c}}{d}$ where $\gcd(a,b,d)=1$ and $c$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Compute $a+b+c+d$.
