Let us call a 1×3 rectangle a tromino. Alice and Bob go to different rooms, and each divides a 20 × 21 board into trominos. Then they compare the results, compute how many trominos are the same in both splittings, and Alice pays Bob that number of dollars.
What is the maximal amount Bob may guarantee to himself no matter how Alice plays?

Helena and Luis are going to play a game with two bags with marbles. They play alternately and on each turn they can do one and only one of the following moves:
[list]
Take out a marble from one bag.
Take out a marble from each bag.
Take out a marble from one bag and then put it into the other bag.
[/list]
The player who leaves both bags empty wins the game.
Before starting the game, Helena counted out the marbles of each bag and said to Luis: "You may start!", while she thought "I will certainly win...". What are the possible distributions of the marbles in the bags?
