We have an 8x8 chessboard with 64 squares. Then we have 3x1 dominoes which cover exactly 3 squares. Such dominoes can only be moved parallel to the borders of the chessboard and also only if the passing squares are free. If no dominoes can be moved, then the position is called stable. a. Find the smalles number of covered squares neccessary for a stable position. b. Prove: There exist a stable position with only one square uncovered. c. Find all Squares which are uncoverd in at least one position of b).

Consider a $m\times n$ rectangular board consisting of $mn$ unit squares. Two of its unit squares are called [i]adjacent[/i] if they have a common edge, and a [i]path[/i] is a sequence of unit squares in which any two consecutive squares are adjacent. Two parths are called [i]non-intersecting[/i] if they don't share any common squares. Each unit square of the rectangular board can be colored black or white. We speak of a [i]coloring[/i] of the board if all its $mn$ unit squares are colored. Let $N$ be the number of colorings of the board such that there exists at least one black path from the left edge of the board to its right edge. Let $M$ be the number of colorings of the board for which there exist at least two non-intersecting black paths from the left edge of the board to its right edge. Prove that $N^{2}\geq M\cdot 2^{mn}$.

Consider the shape formed from taking equilateral triangle $ABC$ with side length $6$ and tracing out the arc $BC$ with center $A$. Set the shape down on line $l$ so that segment $AB$ is perpendicular to $l$, and $B$ touches $l$. Beginning from arc $BC$ touching $l$, we roll $ABC$ along $l$ until both points $A$ and $C$ are on the line. The area traced out by the roll can be written in the form $n\pi$, where $n$ is an integer. Find $n$.
