In a square field of side length $12$ there is a source that contains a system of straight irrigation ditches. This is laid out in such a way that for every point of the field the distance to the next ditch is at most $1$. Here, the source is as a point and are the ditches to be regarded as stretches. It must be verified that the total length of the irrigation ditches is greater than $70$ m. The sketch shows an example of a trench system of the type indicated.

Several fleas sit on the squares of a $10\times 10$ chessboard (at most one fea per square). Every minute, all fleas simultaneously jump to adjacent squares. Each fea begins jumping in one of four directions (up, down, left, right), and keeps jumping in this direction while it is possible; otherwise, it reverses direction on the opposite. It happened that during one hour, no two fleas ever occupied the same square. Find the maximal possible number of fleas on the board.
