Suppose we have a simple polygon (that is it does not intersect itself, but not necessarily convex). Show that this polygon has a diameter which is completely inside the polygon and the two arcs it creates on the polygon perimeter (the two arcs have 2 vertices in common) both have at least one third of the vertices of the polygon.

Let $ F_n$ be a set of all possible connected figures, that consist of $ n$ unit cells. For each element $ f_n$ of this set, let $ S(f_n)$ be the area of that minimal rectangle that covers $ f_n$ and each side of the rectangle is parallel to the corresponding side of the cell. Find $ max(S(f_n))$,where $ f_n\in F_n$? Remark: Two cells are called connected if they have a common edge.
