To [i]clip[/i] a convex $n$-gon means to choose a pair of consecutive sides $AB, BC$ and to replace them by the three segments $AM, MN$, and $NC$, where $M$ is the midpoint of $AB$ and $N$ is the midpoint of $BC$. In other words, one cuts off the triangle $MBN$ to obtain a convex $(n+1)$-gon. A regular hexagon ${\cal P}_6$ of area 1 is clipped to obtain a heptagon ${\cal P}_7$. Then ${\cal P}_7$ is clipped (in one of the seven possible ways) to obtain an octagon ${\cal P}_8$, and so on. Prove that no matter how the clippings are done, the area of ${\cal P}_n$ is greater than $\frac 13$, for all $n \geq 6$.

We're given two congruent, equilateral triangles $ABC$ and $PQR$ with parallel sides, but one has one vertex pointing up and the other one has the vertex pointing down. One is placed above the other so that the area of intersection is a hexagon $A_1A_2A_3A_4A_5A_6$ (labelled counterclockwise). Prove that $A_1A_4$, $A_2A_5$ and $A_3A_6$ are concurrent.

From a $n\times (n-1)$ rectangle divided into unit squares, we cut the [i]corner[/i], which consists of the first row and the first column. (that is, the corner has $2n-2$ unit squares). For the following, when we say [i]corner[/i] we reffer to the above definition, along with rotations and symmetry. Consider an infinite lattice of unit squares. We will color the squares with $k$ colors, such that for any corner, the squares in that corner are coloured differently (that means that there are no squares coloured with the same colour). Find out the minimum of $k$.
