We say that a polygon $P$ is [i]inscribed[/i] in another polygon $Q$ when all vertices of $P$ belong to perimeter of $Q$. We also say in this case that $Q$ is [i]circumscribed[/i] to $P$. Given a triangle $T$, let $l$ be the maximum value of the side of a square inscribed in $T$ and $L$ be the minimum value of the side of a square circumscribed to $T$. Prove that for every triangle $T$ the inequality $L/l \ge 2$ holds and find all the triangles $T$ for which the equality occurs.

The seats in the Parliament of some country are arranged in a rectangle of $10$ rows of $10$ seats each. All the $100$ $MP$s have different salaries. Each of them asks all his neighbours (sitting next to, in front of, or behind him, i.e. $4$ members at most) how much they earn. They feel a lot of envy towards each other: an $MP$ is content with his salary only if he has at most one neighbour who earns more than himself. What is the maximum possible number of $MP$s who are satisfied with their salaries?
