1989 IMO Shortlist, 2

Ali Barber, the carpet merchant, has a rectangular piece of carpet whose dimensions are unknown. Unfortunately, his tape measure is broken and he has no other measuring instruments. However, he finds that if he lays it flat on the floor of either of his storerooms, then each corner of the carpet touches a different wall of that room. If the two rooms have dimensions of 38 feet by 55 feet and 50 feet by 55 feet, what are the carpet dimensions?

A trapezoid $ABCD$ with perpendicular diagonals $AC$ and $BD$ is inscribed in a circle $k$. Let $k_a$ and $k_c$ respectively be the circles with diameters $AB$ and $CD$. Compute the area of the region which is inside the circle $k$, but outside the circles $k_a$ and $k_c$.

Points $A_0,A_1,\ldots,A_{2k}$, in this order, divide a circumference into $2k+1$ equal arcs. Point $A_0$ is connected by chords to all the other points. These $2k$ chords divide the interior of the circle into $2k+1$ parts. These parts are alternately painted red and blue so that there are $k+1$ red and $k$ blue parts. Show that the blue area is larger than the red area.

1966 IMO Longlists, 52

A figure with area $1$ is cut out of paper. We divide this figure into $10$ parts and color them in $10$ different colors. Now, we turn around the piece of paper, divide the same figure on the other side of the paper in $10$ parts again (in some different way). Show that we can color these new parts in the same $10$ colors again (hereby, different parts should have different colors) such that the sum of the areas of all parts of the figure colored with the same color on both sides is $\geq \frac{1}{10}.$

Let $ABCD$ be a unit square and let $E$ and $F$ be points inside $ABCD$ such that the line containing $\overline{EF}$ is parallel to $\overline{AB}$. Point $E$ is closer to $\overline{AD}$ than point $F$ is to $\overline{AD}$. The line containing $\overline{EF}$ also bisects the square into two rectangles of equal area. Suppose $[AEF B] = [DEFC] = 2[AED] = 2[BFC]$. The length of segment $\overline{EF}$ can be expressed as $m/n$ , where m and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Compute $m + n$.
