Let $A_2$ be the point such that $A_1$ is the midpoint of $PA_2$, let $B_2$ be the point such that $B_1$ is the midpoint of $PB_2$, and let $C_2$ be the point such that $C_1$ is the midpoint of $PC_2$.

For some positive integer $n$, consider the board $n\times n$. On this board you can put any rectangles with sides along the sides of the grid. What is the smallest number of such rectangles that must be placed so that all the cells of the board are covered by distinct numbers of rectangles (possibly $0$)? The rectangles are allowed to have the same sizes. [i]Proposed by Anton Trygub[/i]

A net for a polyhedron is cut along an edge to give two [b]pieces[/b]. For example, we may cut a cube net along the red edge to form two pieces as shown. [asy] size(5.5cm); draw((1,0)--(1,4)--(2,4)--(2,0)--cycle); draw((1,1)--(2,1)); draw((1,2)--(2,2)); draw((1,3)--(2,3)); draw((0,1)--(3,1)--(3,2)--(0,2)--cycle); draw((2,1)--(2,2),red+linewidth(1.5)); draw((3.5,2)--(5,2)); filldraw((4.25,2.2)--(5,2)--(4.25,1.8)--cycle,black); draw((6,1.5)--(10,1.5)--(10,2.5)--(6,2.5)--cycle); draw((7,1.5)--(7,2.5)); draw((8,1.5)--(8,2.5)); draw((9,1.5)--(9,2.5)); draw((7,2.5)--(7,3.5)--(8,3.5)--(8,2.5)--cycle); draw((11,1.5)--(11,2.5)--(12,2.5)--(12,1.5)--cycle); [/asy] Are there two distinct polyhedra for which this process may result in the same two pairs of pieces? If you think the answer is no, prove that no pair of polyhedra can result in the same two pairs of pieces. If you think the answer is yes, provide an example; a clear example will suffice as a proof.

The 16 fields of a $4 \times 4$ checker board can be arranged in 18 lines as follows: the four lines, the four columns, the five diagonals from north west to south east and the five diagonals from north east to south west. These diagonals consists of 2,3 or 4 edge-adjacent fields of same colour; the corner fields of the chess board alone do not form a diagonal. Now, we put a token in 10 of the 16 fields. Each of the 18 lines contains an even number of tokens contains a point. What is the highest possible point number when can be achieved by optimal placing of the 10 tokens. Explain your answer.

There is a 100 x100 square table, a real number being written in each cell.$A$ and $B$ play the following game. They choose, turn by turn, some row of the table (if it has not been chosen before). When $A$ and $B$ have $50$ rows chosen each, they sum the numbers in the corresponding cells of the chosen rows, and then sum the squares of all $100$ obtained numbers and compare the results. $A$ player who has the greater result wins. Player $A$ begins. Show that $A$ can avoid a defeat.
