Let $m$, $n$ be two positive integers greater than 3. Consider the table of size $m\times n$ ($m$ rows and $n$ columns) formed with unit squares. We are putting marbles into unit squares of the table following the instructions: $-$ each time put 4 marbles into 4 unit squares (1 marble per square) such that the 4 unit squares formes one of the followings 4 pictures (click [url=http://www.mathlinks.ro/Forum/download.php?id=4425]here[/url] to view the pictures). In each of the following cases, answer with justification to the following question: Is it possible that after a finite number of steps we can set the marbles into all of the unit squares such that the numbers of marbles in each unit square is the same? a) $m=2004$, $n=2006$; b) $m=2005$, $n=2006$.

Inside an $11\times 11$ square, Pablo drew a rectangle and extending its sides divided the square into $5$ rectangles, as shown in the figure.

Then we enlarge it with center in the center of the rectangle and ratio lamda such that is covers the convex figure. Find the smallest lamda such that it works for all convex figures.

In order to earn her vacation spending money, Alexis helped her mother remove weeds from the garden. When she was done, she came into the house to put away her gardening gloves and change into clean clothes. On her way to her room she notices Joshua with his face to the floor in the family room, looking pretty silly. "Josh, did you know you lose IQ points for sniffing the carpet?" "Shut up. I'm $\textit{not}$ sniffing the carpet. I'm $\textit{doing something}$." "Sure, if $\textit{sniffing the carpet}$ counts as $\textit{doing something}.$" At this point Alexis stands over her twin brother grinning, trying to see how silly she can make him feel. Joshua climbs to his feet and stands on his toes to make himself a half inch taller than his sister, who is ordinarily a half inch taller than Joshua. "I'm measuring something. I'm $\textit{designing}$ something." Alexis stands on her toes too, reminding her brother that she is still taller than he. "When you're done, can you design me a dress?" "Very funny." Joshua walks to the table and points to some drawings. "I'm designing the sand castle I want to build at the beach. Everything needs to be measured out so that I can build something awesome." "And this requires sniffing carpet?" inquires Alexis, who is just a little intrigued by her brother's project. "I was imagining where to put the base of a spiral staircase. Everything needs to be measured out correctly. See, the castle walls will be in the shape of a rectangle, like this room. The center of the staircase will be $9$ inches from one of the corners, $15$ inches from another, $16$ inches from another, and some whole number of inches from the furthest corner." Joshua shoots Alexis a wry smile. The twins liked to challenge each other, and Alexis knew she had to find the distance from the center of the staircase to the fourth corner of the castle on her own, or face Joshua's pestering, which might last for hours or days. Find the distance from the center of the staircase to the furthest corner of the rectangular castle, assuming all four of the distances to the corners are described as distances on the same plane (the ground).

Define an integer $n \ge 0$ to be \textit{two-far} if there exist integers $a$ and $b$ such that $a$, $b$, and $n + a + b$ are all powers of two. If $N$ is the number of two-far integers less than 2048, find the remainder when $N$ is divided by 100. Let $T = TNYWR$. Let $CMU$ be a triangle with $CM=13$, $MU=14$, and $UC=15$. Rectangle $WEAN$ is inscribed in $\triangle CMU$ with points $W$ and $E$ on $\overline{MU}$, point $A$ on $\overline{CU}$, and point $N$ on $\overline{CM}$. If the area of $WEAN$ is $T$, what is its perimeter?

Peter has many squares of equal side. Some of the squares are black, some are white. Peter wants to assemble a big square, with side equal to $n$ sides of the small squares, so that the big square has no rectangle formed by the small squares such that all the squares in the vertices of the rectangle are of equal colour. How big a square is Peter able to assemble?
