2006 All-Russian Olympiad Regional Round, 8.4

Each detail of the “Young Solderer” instructor is a bracket in the shape of the letter $\Pi$, consisting of three single segments. Is it possible from the parts of this constructor are soldered together, a complete wire frame of the cube $2 \times 2 \times 2$, divided into $1 \times 1 \times 1$ cubes? (The frame consists of 27 points, connected by single segments; any two adjacent points must be connected by exactly one piece of wire.) [hide]=original wording]Каждая деталько нструктора ''Юный паяльщик'' — это скобка в виде буквы П, остоящая из трех единичных отрезков. Можно ли издеталей этого конструктора спаятьполный роволочный каркас куба 2 × × 2 × 2, разбитого на кубики 1 × 1 × 1? (Каркас состоит из 27 точек,соединенных единичными отрезками; любые две соседние точки должны бытьсоединены ровно одним проволочным отрезком.)[/hide]

Is it always possible to hammer a few nails into the table so that each napkin is nailed with exactly one nail? (b) The same question for regular pentagons. (A Kanel)

Let $P = \{(x, y) | x, y \in \{0, 1, 2,... , 2015\}\}$ be a set of points on the plane. Straight wires of unit length are placed to connect points in $P$ so that each piece of wire connects exactly two points in $P$, and each point in $P$ is an endpoint of exactly one wire. Prove that no matter how the wires are placed, it is always possible to draw a straight line parallel to either the horizontal or vertical axis passing through midpoints of at least $506$ pieces of wire.

Let $n \ge 3$ be an integer, and consider a $n \times n$-board, divided into $n^2$ unit squares. For all $m \ge 1$, arbitrarily many $1\times m$-rectangles (type I) and arbitrarily many $m\times 1$-rectangles (type II) are available. We cover the board with $N$ such rectangles, without overlaps, and such that every rectangle lies entirely inside the board. We require that the number of type I rectangles used is equal to the number of type II rectangles used.(Note that a $1 \times 1$-rectangle has both types.) What is the minimal value of $N$ for which this is possible?
