We call a rectangle of size $2 \times 3$ (or $3 \times 2$) without one cell in corner a $P$-rectangle. We call a rectangle of size $2 \times 3$ (or $3 \times 2$) without two cells in opposite (under center of rectangle) corners a $S$-rectangle. Using some squares of size $2 \times 2$, some $P$-rectangles and some $S$-rectangles, one form one rectangle of size $1993 \times 2000$ (figures don’t overlap each other). Let $s$ denote the sum of numbers of squares and $S$-rectangles used in such tiling. Find the maximal value of $s$.
A square is cut into several rectangles, none of which is a square, so that the sides of each rectangle are parallel to the sides of the square. For each rectangle with sides $a, b,a<b$, compute the ratio $a/b$. Prove that sum of these ratios is at least $1$.
You can tile a $2 \times5$ grid of squares using any combination of three types of tiles: single unit squares, two side by side unit squares, and three unit squares in the shape of an L. The diagram below shows the grid, the available tile shapes, and one way to tile the grid. In how many ways can the grid be tiled?

The adjacent map is part of a city: the small rectangles are rocks, and the paths in between are streets. Each morning, a student walks from intersection A to intersection B, always walking along streets shown, and always going east or south. For variety, at each intersection where he has a choice, he chooses with probability $\frac{1}{2}$ whether to go east or south. Find the probability that through any given morning, he goes through $C$.

Is it possible to divide a $8 \times 8$ chessboard into $32$ rectangles, each either $1 \times 2$ or $2 \times 1$, and to draw exactly one diagonal on each rectangle such that no two of these diagonals have a common endpoint?

Sammy has a wooden board, shaped as a rectangle with length $2^{2014}$ and height $3^{2014}$. The board is divided into a grid of unit squares. A termite starts at either the left or bottom edge of the rectangle, and walks along the gridlines by moving either to the right or upwards, until it reaches an edge opposite the one from which the termite started. Depicted below are two possible paths of the termite.

The termite’s path dissects the board into two parts. Sammy is surprised to find that he can still arrange the pieces to form a new rectangle not congruent to the original rectangle. This rectangle has perimeter $P$. How many possible values of $P$ are there?
Prove that the parallelogram $ABCD$ with relation $\angle ABD + \angle DAC = 90^o$, is either a rectangle or a rhombus.
Consider rectangle $ABCD$ with $AB=30$ and $BC=60$. Construct circle $T$ whose diameter is $AD$. Construct circle $S$ whose diameter is $AB$. Let circles $S$ and $T$ intersect at $P$ such that $P\neq A$. Let $AP$ intersect $BC$ at $E$. Let $F$ be the point on $AB$ such that $EF$ is tangent to the circle with diameter $AD$. Find the area of triangle $AEF$.
There is a $11\times 11$ square grid. We divided this in $5$ rectangles along unit squares. How many ways that one of the rectangles doesn’t have a edge on basic circumference.
Note that we count as different ways that one way coincides with another way by rotating or reversing.

In the plane we consider rectangles whose sides are parallel to the coordinate axes and have positive length. Such a rectangle will be called a [i]box[/i].
