Pinocchio claims that he can take some non-right-angled triangles , all of which are similar to one another and some of which may be congruent to one another, and put them together to form a rectangle. Is Pinocchio lying? (A Fedotov)

Instead of walking along two adjacent sides of a rectangular field, a boy took a shortcut along the diagonal of the field and saved a distance equal to $ \frac{1}{2}$ the longer side. The ratio of the shorter side of the rectangle to the longer side was: $ \textbf{(A)}\ \frac{1}{2} \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ \frac{2}{3} \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ \frac{1}{4} \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ \frac{3}{4} \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \frac{2}{5}$

Given a rectangle $ABCD$, determine two points $K$ and $L$ on the sides $BC$ and $CD$ such that the triangles $ABK, AKL$ and $ADL$ have same area.

Prove that there exists a positive real number $N$ such that for arbitrary real numbers $a,b>N$ it is possible to cover the perimeter of a rectangle with side lengths $a$ and $b$ using non-overlapping unit disks (the unit disks can be tangent to each other).

The points $S(i, j)$ with integer Cartesian coordinates $0 < i \leq n, 0 < j \leq m, m \leq n$, form a lattice. Find the number of: [b](a)[/b] rectangles with vertices on the lattice and sides parallel to the coordinate axes; [b](b)[/b] squares with vertices on the lattice and sides parallel to the coordinate axes; [b](c)[/b] squares in total, with vertices on the lattice.

Let $ ABCD$ be a convex quadrilateral with $ AB\equal{}AD$ and $ BC\equal{}CD$. On the sides $ AB,BC,CD,DA$ we consider points $ K,L,L_1,K_1$ such that quadrilateral $ KLL_1K_1$ is rectangle. Then consider rectangles $ MNPQ$ inscribed in the triangle $ BLK$, where $ M\in KB,N\in BL,P,Q\in LK$ and $ M_1N_1P_1Q_1$ inscribed in triangle $ DK_1L_1$ where $ P_1$ and $ Q_1$ are situated on the $ L_1K_1$, $ M$ on the $ DK_1$ and $ N_1$ on the $ DL_1$. Let $ S,S_1,S_2,S_3$ be the areas of the $ ABCD,KLL_1K_1,MNPQ,M_1N_1P_1Q_1$ respectively. Find the maximum possible value of the expression: $ \frac{S_1\plus{}S_2\plus{}S_3}{S}$

A square of side $n$ ($n$ natural) is divided into $n^2$ squares of side $1$. Each pair of "horizontal" boundary lines and each pair of "vertical" boundary lines enclose a rectangle (a square is also considered a rectangle). A rectangle has a length and a width; the width is less than or equal to the length. (a) Prove that there are $8$ rectangles of width $n - 1$. (b) Determine the number of rectangles with width $n -k$ ($0\le k \le n -1,k$ integer). (c) Determine a formula for $1^3 + 2^3 +...+ n^3$.

Let $K$ and $L$ be positive integers. On a board consisting of $2K \times 2L$ unit squares an ant starts in the lower left corner square and walks to the upper right corner square. In each step it goes horizontally or vertically to a neighbouring square. It never visits a square twice. At the end some squares may remain unvisited. In some cases the collection of all unvisited squares forms a single rectangle. In such cases, we call this rectangle [i]MEMOrable[/i]. Determine the number of different MEMOrable rectangles. [i]Remark: Rectangles are different unless they consist of exactly the same squares.[/i]

Each of $n$ black squares and $n$ white squares can be obtained by a translation from each other. Every two squares of different colours have a common point. Prove that ther is a point belonging at least to $n$ squares. [i](V. Dolnikov)[/i]

A square with horizontal and vertical sides is drawn on the plane. It held several segments parallel to the sides, and there are no two segments which lie on one line or intersect at an interior point for both segments. It turned out that the segments cuts square into rectangles, and any vertical line intersecting the square and not containing segments of the partition intersects exactly $ k $ rectangles of the partition, and any horizontal line intersecting the square and not containing segments of the partition intersects exactly $\ell$ rectangles. How much the number of rectangles can be? [i]I. Bogdanov, D. Fon-Der-Flaass[/i]

Five girls have a little store that opens from Monday through Friday. Since two people are always enough for taking care of it, they decide to do a work plan for the week, specifying who will work each day, and fulfilling the following conditions: a) Each girl will work exactly two days a week b) The 5 assigned couples for the week must be different In how many ways can the girls do the work plan?

A rectangular sheet of paper whose dimensions are $12 \times 18$ is folded along a diagonal, creating the $M$-shaped region drawn in the picture (see below). Find the area of the shaded region.

A rectangular floor is covered by a certain number of equally large quadratic tiles. The tiles along the edge are red, and the rest are white. There are equally many red and white tiles. How many tiles can there be?

The seats in the Parliament of some country are arranged in a rectangle of $10$ rows of $10$ seats each. All the $100$ $MP$s have different salaries. Each of them asks all his neighbours (sitting next to, in front of, or behind him, i.e. $4$ members at most) how much they earn. They feel a lot of envy towards each other: an $MP$ is content with his salary only if he has at most one neighbour who earns more than himself. What is the maximum possible number of $MP$s who are satisfied with their salaries?

Sebastian has a certain number of rectangles with areas that sum up to 3 and with side lengths all less than or equal to $1$. Demonstrate that with each of these rectangles it is possible to cover a square with side $1$ in such a way that the sides of the rectangles are parallel to the sides of the square. [b]Note:[/b] The rectangles can overlap and they can protrude over the sides of the square.
