$(FRA 3)$ A polygon (not necessarily convex) with vertices in the lattice points of a rectangular grid is given. The area of the polygon is $S.$ If $I$ is the number of lattice points that are strictly in the interior of the polygon and B the number of lattice points on the border of the polygon, find the number $T = 2S- B -2I + 2.$

Consider an arbitrary (optional convex) polygon. It's [i]chord [/i] is a segment whose ends lie on the boundary of the polygon, and itself belongs entirely to the polygon. Will there always be a chord of a polygon that divides it into two equal parts? Is it true that any polygon can be divided by some chord into parts, the area of each of which is not less than $\frac13$ the area of the polygon?

Each of Mahdi and Morteza has drawn an inscribed $93$-gon. Denote the first one by $A_1A_2…A_{93}$ and the second by $B_1B_2…B_{93}$. It is known that $A_iA_{i+1} // B_iB_{i+1}$ for $1 \le i \le 93$ ($A_{93} = A_1, B_{93} = B_1$). Show that $\frac{A_iA_{i+1} }{ B_iB_{i+1}}$ is a constant number independent of $i$.

Seven congruent line segments are connected together at their endpoints as shown in the figure below at the left. By raising point $E$ the linkage can be made taller, as shown in the figure below and to the right.
Continuing to raise $E$ in this manner, it is possible to use the linkage to make $A, C, F$, and $E$ collinear, while simultaneously making $B, G, D$, and $E$ collinear, thereby constructing a new triangle $ABE$.
Prove that a regular polygon with center $E$ can be formed from a number of copies of this new triangle $ABE$, joined together at point $E$, and without overlapping interiors. Also find the number of sides of this polygon and justify your answer.

Lalo and Sergio play in a regular polygon of $n\geq 4$ sides. In his turn, Lalo paints a diagonal or side of pink, and in his turn Sergio paint a diagonal or side of orange. Wins the game who achieve paint the three sides of a triangle with his color, if none of the players can win, they game tie. Lalo starts playing. Determines all natural numbers $n$ such that one of the players have winning strategy.

Point $P$ inside this polygon is chosen so that its projections $P_1, \ldots , P_n$ onto lines $A_1A_2, \ldots , A_nA_1$ respectively lie on the sides of the polygon.

We have two concentric circles. A polygon is circumscribed around the smaller circle and is contained entirely inside the greater circle. Perpendiculars from the common center of the circles to the sides of the polygon are extended till they intersect the greater circle. Each of the points obtained is connected with the endpoints of the corresponding side of the polygon . When is the resulting star-shaped polygon the unfolding of a pyramid?

Suppose we have two identical cardboard polygons. We placed one polygon upon the other one and aligned. Then we pierced polygons with a pin at a point. Then we turned one of the polygons around this pin by $25^o 30'$. It turned out that the polygons coincided (aligned again). What is the minimal possible number of sides of the polygons?
