A rectangle $ D$ is partitioned in several ($ \ge2$) rectangles with sides parallel to those of $ D$. Given that any line parallel to one of the sides of $ D$, and having common points with the interior of $ D$, also has common interior points with the interior of at least one rectangle of the partition; prove that there is at least one rectangle of the partition having no common points with $ D$'s boundary.

Will stands at a point $P$ on the edge of a circular room with perfectly reflective walls. He shines two laser pointers into the room, forming angles of $n^o$ and $(n + 1)^o$ with the tangent at $P$, where $n$ is a positive integer less than $90$. The lasers reflect off of the walls, illuminating the points they hit on the walls, until they reach $P$ again. ($P$ is also illuminated at the end.) What is the minimum possible number of illuminated points on the walls of the room? [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/a/9/5548d7b34551369d1b69eae682855bcc406f9e.jpg[/img]
