Two players, Red and Blue, play in alternating turns on a 10x10 board. Blue goes first. In his turn, a player picks a row or column (not chosen by any player yet) and color all its squares with his own color. If any of these squares was already colored, the new color substitutes the old one. The game ends after 20 turns, when all rows and column were chosen. Red wins if the number of red squares in the board exceeds at least by 10 the number of blue squares; otherwise Blue wins. Determine which player has a winning strategy and describe this strategy.

$ABCD$ is a rectangle. $I$ is the midpoint of $CD$. $BI$ meets $AC$ at $M$.

A rectangular building consists of $30$ square rooms situated like the cells of a $2 \times 15$ board. In each room there are three doors, each of which leads to another room (not necessarily different). How many ways are there to distribute the doors between the rooms so that it is possible to get from any room to any other one without leaving the building?

Label the squares of a $1991 \times 1992$ rectangle $(m, n)$ with $1 \leq m \leq 1991$ and $1 \leq n \leq 1992$. We wish to color all the squares red. The first move is to color red the squares $(m, n), (m+1, n+1), (m+2, n+1)$for some $m < 1990, n < 1992$. Subsequent moves are to color any three (uncolored) squares in the same row, or to color any three (uncolored) squares in the same column. Can we color all the squares in this way?

Given an integer $n\geq 3$. For each $3\times3$ squares on the grid, call this $3\times3$ square isolated if the center unit square is white and other 8 squares are black, or the center unit square is black and other 8 squares are white. Now suppose one can paint an infinite grid by white or black, so that one can select an $a\times b$ rectangle which contains at least $n^2-n$ isolated $3\times 3$ square. Find the minimum of $a+b$ that such thing can happen. (Note that $a,b$ are positive reals, and selected $a\times b$ rectangle may have sides not parallel to grid line of the infinite grid.)
