[b]p18.[/b] Suppose you have a $20 \times 16$ bar of chocolate squares. You want to break the bar into smaller chunks, so that after some sequence of breaks, no piece has an area of more than $5$. What is the minimum possible number of times that you must break the bar?
For an example of how breaking the chocolate works, suppose we have a $2\times 2$ bar and wish to break it entirely into $1\times 1$ bars. We can break it once to get two $2\times 1$ bars. Then, we would have to break each of these individual bars in half in order to get all the bars to be size $1\times 1$, and we end up using $3$ breaks in total.

What is the largest possible area that your polygon can have?
