Prove that any rectangle which is not a square can be placed in the plane so that its vertices have the same color. [b]IMO Shortlist 2007 Problem C5 as it appears in the official booklet:[/b] In the Cartesian coordinate plane define the strips $ S_n \equal{} \{(x,y)|n\le x < n \plus{} 1\}$ for every integer $ n.$ Assume each strip $ S_n$ is colored either red or blue, and let $ a$ and $ b$ be two distinct positive integers. Prove that there exists a rectangle with side length $ a$ and $ b$ such that its vertices have the same color. ([i]Edited by Orlando Döhring[/i]) [i]Author: Radu Gologan and Dan Schwarz, Romania[/i]
