Prove that every rectangle circumscribed by a square is itself a square. (A rectangle is circumscribed by a square if there is exactly one corner point of the square on each side of the rectangle.)

A rectangle that is inscribed in a larger rectangle (with one vertex on each side) is called [i]unstuck[/i] if it is possible to rotate (however slightly) the smaller rectangle about its center within the confines of the larger. Of all the rectangles that can be inscribed unstuck in a 6 by 8 rectangle, the smallest perimeter has the form $\sqrt{N}$, for a positive integer $N$. Find $N$.

Dürer's $n \times m$ garden is surgically divided into $n \times m$ unit squares, and in the middle of one of these squares, he planted his favourite petunia. Dürer's gardener struggles with a mole, trying to drive him out of the magnificent garden, so he builds an underground wall on the edge of the garden. The only problem is that the mole managed to stay inside the walls.. When the mole meets a wall, it changes it's direction as if it was "reflected", that is, proceeding his route in the direction that includes the same angle with the wall as his direction before. The mole starts beneath the petunia, in a direction that includes a $45^o$ angle with the walls. Is it possible for the mole to cross the petunia in a direction perpendicular to it's original direction? (Think in terms of $n,m$.)

Ali Barber, the carpet merchant, has a rectangular piece of carpet whose dimensions are unknown. Unfortunately, his tape measure is broken and he has no other measuring instruments. However, he finds that if he lays it flat on the floor of either of his storerooms, then each corner of the carpet touches a different wall of that room. If the two rooms have dimensions of 38 feet by 55 feet and 50 feet by 55 feet, what are the carpet dimensions?

Let $ABCD$ be a square with the side of $20$ units. Amir divides this square into $400$ unit squares. Reza then picks $4$ of the vertices of these unit squares. These vertices lie inside the square $ABCD$ and define a rectangle with the sides parallel to the sides of the square $ABCD.$ There are exactly $24$ unit squares which have at least one point in common with the sides of this rectangle. Find all possible values for the area of a rectangle with these properties. [hide="Note"][i]Note:[/i] Vid changed to Amir, and Eva change to Reza![/hide]

A table $2 \times 2010$ is divided to unit cells. Ivan and Peter are playing the following game. Ivan starts, and puts horizontal $2 \times 1$ domino that covers exactly two unit table cells. Then Peter puts vertical $1 \times 2$ domino that covers exactly two unit table cells. Then Ivan puts horizontal domino. Then Peter puts vertical domino, etc. The person who cannot put his domino will lose the game. Find who have winning strategy.

An interior point in a rectangle is connected by line segments to the midpoints of its four sides. Thus four domains (polygons) with the areas $a, b, c$ and $d$ appear (see the figure). Prove that $a + c = b + d$. [img]https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BipDNHELjJI/XzcCa68P3HI/AAAAAAAAMXY/H2Iqya9VItMLXrRqsdyxHLTXCAZ02nEtgCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/2002%2BMohr%2Bp1.png[/img]

The $8$ eyelets for the lace of a sneaker all lie on a rectangle, four equally spaced on each of the longer sides. The rectangle has a width of $50$ mm and a length of $80$ mm. There is one eyelet at each vertex of the rectangle. The lace itself must pass between the vertex eyelets along a width side of the rectangle and then crisscross between successive eyelets until it reaches the two eyelets at the other width side of the rectrangle as shown. After passing through these final eyelets, each of the ends of the lace must extend at least $200$ mm farther to allow a knot to be tied. Find the minimum length of the lace in millimeters.
