For an integer $m\geq 1$, we consider partitions of a $2^m\times 2^m$ chessboard into rectangles consisting of cells of chessboard, in which each of the $2^m$ cells along one diagonal forms a separate rectangle of side length $1$. Determine the smallest possible sum of rectangle perimeters in such a partition.

Let $C$ be a closed plane curve that has a continuously turning tangent and bounds a convex region. If $T$ is a triangle inscribed in $C$ with maximum perimeter, show that the normal to $C$ at each vertex of $T$ bisects the angle of $T$ at that vertex. If a triangle $T$ has the property just described, does it necessarily have maximum perimeter? What is the situation if $C$ is a circle?

Consider a convex polygon $A_{1}A_{2}\ldots A_{n}$ and a point $M$ inside it. The lines $A_{i}M$ intersect the perimeter of the polygon second time in the points $B_{i}$. The polygon is called balanced if all sides of the polygon contain exactly one of points $B_{i}$ (strictly inside). Find all balanced polygons.
[Note: The problem originally asked for which $n$ all convex polygons of $n$ sides are balanced. A misunderstanding made this version of the problem appear at the contest]

Define $f(x)$ to be the nearest integer to $x$, with the greater integer chosen if two integers are tied for being the nearest. For example, $f(2.3) = 2$, $f(2.5) = 3$, and $f(2.7) = 3$. Define $[A]$ to be the area of region $A$. Define region $R_n$, for each positive integer $n$, to be the region on the Cartesian plane which satisfies the inequality $f(|x|) + f(|y|) < n$. We pick an arbitrary point $O$ on the perimeter of $R_n$, and mark every two units around the perimeter with another point. Region $S_{nO}$ is defined by connecting these points in order.
