Two opposite sides of a rectangle are each divided into $n$ congruent segments, and the endpoints of one segment are joined to the center to form triangle $A$. The other sides are each divided into $m$ congruent segments, and the endpoints of one of these segments are joined to the center to form triangle $B$. [See figure for $n = 5, m = 7$.] What is the ratio of the area of triangle $A$ to the area of triangle $B$?

A [i]super-integer[/i] triangle is defined to be a triangle whose lengths of all sides and at least one height are positive integers. We will deem certain positive integer numbers to be [i]good[/i] with the condition that if the lengths of two sides of a super-integer triangle are two (not necessarily different) good numbers, then the length of the remaining side is also a good number. Let $5$ be a good number. Prove that all integers larger than $2$ are good numbers.

A company of $n$ soldiers is such that (i) $n$ is a palindrome number (read equally in both directions); (ii) if the soldiers arrange in rows of $3, 4$ or $5$ soldiers, then the last row contains $2, 3$ and $5$ soldiers, respectively. Find the smallest $n$ satisfying these conditions and prove that there are infinitely many such numbers $n$.

Andrea inscribed a circle inside a regular pentagon, circumscribed a circle around the pentagon, and calculated the area of the region between the two circles. Bethany did the same with a regular heptagon (7 sides). The areas of the two regions were $ A$ and $ B$, respectively. Each polygon had a side length of $ 2$.

We say that a nonconstant polynomial $p(x)$ with real coefficients is split into two squares if it is represented as $a(x) +b(x)$ where $a(x)$ and $b(x)$ are squares of polynomials with real coefficients. Is there such a polynomial $p(x)$ that it may be split into two squares: a) in exactly one way; b) in exactly two ways? Note: two splittings that differ only in the order of summands are considered to be the same. Sergey Markelov
