Let $n$ and $m$ be fixed positive integers. The hexagon $ABCDEF$ with vertices $A = (0,0)$, $B = (n,0)$, $C = (n,m)$, $D = (n-1,m)$, $E = (n-1,1)$, $F = (0,1)$ has been partitioned into $n+m-1$ unit squares. Find the number of paths from $A$ to $C$ along grid lines, passing through every grid node at most once.

A football is made by sewing together some black and white leather patches. The black patches are regular pentagons of the same size. The white patches are regular hexagons of the same size. Each pentagon is bordered by 5 hexagons. Each hexagons is bordered by $3$ pentagons and $3$ hexagons. We need $12$ pentagons to make one football. How many hexagons are needed to make one football?

Given an equilateral triangle with sidelength $k$ cm. With lines parallel to it's sides, we split it into $k^2$ small equilateral triangles with sidelength $1$ cm. This way, a triangular grid is created. In every small triangle of sidelength $1$ cm, we place exactly one integer from $1$ to $k^2$ (included), such that there are no such triangles having the same numbers. With vertices the points of the grid, regular hexagons are defined of sidelengths $1$ cm. We shall name as [i]value [/i] of the hexagon, the sum of the numbers that lie on the $6$ small equilateral triangles that the hexagon consists of . Find (in terms of the integer $k>4$) the maximum and the minimum value of the sum of the values of all hexagons .
