Consider the pyramid $ VABCD, $ where $ V $ is the top and $ ABCD $ is a rectangular base. If $ \angle BVD = \angle AVC, $ then prove that the triangles $ VAC $ and $ VBD $ share the same perimeter and area.
Prove that a line that divides a triangle into two polygons of equal area and equal perimeter passes through the center of the circle inscribed in the triangle. Prove an analogous property for a polygon that has an inscribed circle.
City of Mar del Plata is a square shaped $WSEN$ land with $2(n + 1)$ streets that divides it into $n \times n$ blocks, where $n$ is an even number (the leading streets form the perimeter of the square). Each block has a dimension of $100 \times 100$ meters. All streets in Mar del Plata are one-way. The streets which are parallel and adjacent to each other are directed in opposite direction. Street $WS$ is driven in the direction from $W$ to $S$ and the street $WN$ travels from $W$ to $N$. A street cleaning car starts from point $W$. The driver wants to go to the point $E$ and in doing so, he must cross as much as possible roads. What is the length of the longest route he can go, if any $100$-meter stretch cannot be crossed more than once? (The figure shows a plan of the city for $n=6$ and one of the possible - but not the longest - routes of the street cleaning car. See http://goo.gl/maps/JAzD too.)

The vertices of a given square are clockwise lettered $A,B,C,D$. On the side $AB$ is situated a point $E$ such that $AE = AB/3$. Starting from an arbitrarily chosen point $P_0$ on segment $AE$ and going clockwise around the perimeter of the square, a series of points $P_0, P_1, P_2, \ldots$ is marked on the perimeter such that $P_iP_{i+1} = AB/3$ for each $i$. It will be clear that when $P_0$ is chosen in $A$ or in $E$, then some $P_i$ will coincide with $P_0$. Does this possibly also happen if $P_0$ is chosen otherwise?
In a unit square one hundred segments are drawn from the centre to the sides dividing the square into one hundred parts (triangles and possibly quadruilaterals). If all parts have equal perimetr $p$, show that $\dfrac{14}{10} < p < \dfrac{15}{10}$.
