a) $n$ $2\times2$ squares are drawn on the Cartesian plane. The sides of these squares are parallel to the coordinate axes. It is known that the center of any square is not an inner point of any other square. Let $\Pi$ be a rectangle such that it contains all these $n$ squares and its sides are parallel to the coordinate axes. Prove that the perimeter of $\Pi$ is greater than or equal to $4(\sqrt{n}+1)$. b) Prove the sharp estimate: the perimeter of $\Pi$ is greater than or equal to $2\lceil \sqrt{n}+1) \rceil$ (here $\lceil a\rceil$ stands for the smallest integer which is greater than or equal to $a$).

2018 Greece Team Selection Test, 4

Let $ p \geq 2$ be a prime number. Eduardo and Fernando play the following game making moves alternately: in each move, the current player chooses an index $i$ in the set $\{0,1,2,\ldots, p-1 \}$ that was not chosen before by either of the two players and then chooses an element $a_i$ from the set $\{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9\}$. Eduardo has the first move. The game ends after all the indices have been chosen .Then the following number is computed: $$M=a_0+a_110+a_210^2+\cdots+a_{p-1}10^{p-1}= \sum_{i=0}^{p-1}a_i.10^i$$. The goal of Eduardo is to make $M$ divisible by $p$, and the goal of Fernando is to prevent this. Prove that Eduardo has a winning strategy. [i]Proposed by Amine Natik, Morocco[/i]
