From a $n\times (n-1)$ rectangle divided into unit squares, we cut the [i]corner[/i], which consists of the first row and the first column. (that is, the corner has $2n-2$ unit squares). For the following, when we say [i]corner[/i] we reffer to the above definition, along with rotations and symmetry. Consider an infinite lattice of unit squares. We will color the squares with $k$ colors, such that for any corner, the squares in that corner are coloured differently (that means that there are no squares coloured with the same colour). Find out the minimum of $k$.

Consider a rhombus $ABCD$ with center $O$. A point $P$ is given inside the rhombus, but not situated on the diagonals. Let $M,N,Q,R$ be the projections of $P$ on the sides $(AB), (BC), (CD), (DA)$, respectively. The perpendicular bisectors of the segments $MN$ and $RQ$ meet at $S$ and the perpendicular bisectors of the segments $NQ$ and $MR$ meet at $T$. Prove that $P, S, T$ and $O$ are the vertices of a rectangle.

We call a tiling of an $m\times$ n rectangle with arabos (see figure below) [i]regular[/i] if there is no sub-rectangle which is tiled with arabos. Prove that if for some $m$ and $n$ there exists a [i]regular[/i] tiling of the $m\times n$ rectangle then there exists a [i]regular[/i] tiling also for the $2m \times 2n$ rectangle.

Cells of a $2000\times2000$ board are colored according to the following rules:
1)At any moment a cell can be colored, if none of its neighbors are colored
2)At any moment a $1\times2$ rectangle can be colored, if exactly two of its neighbors are colored.
3)At any moment a $2\times2$ squared can be colored, if 8 of its neighbors are colored
(Two cells are considered to be neighboring, if they share a common side). Can the entire $2000\times2000$ board be colored?

Let $ABCD$ be a rectangle with diagonals of length $10.$ Let $P$ be the midpoint of $\overline{AD},$ $S$ be the midpoint of $\overline{BC},$ and $T$ be the midpoint of $\overline{CD}.$ Points $Q$ and $R$ are chosen on $\overline{AB}$ such that $AP=AQ$ and $BR=BS,$ and minor arcs $\widehat{PQ}$ and $\widehat{RS}$ centered at $A$ and $B,$ respectively, are drawn. Circle $\omega$ is tangent to $\overline{CD}$ at $T$ and externally tangent to $\widehat{PQ}$ and $\widehat{RS}.$ Suppose that the radius of $\omega$ is $\tfrac{43}{18}.$ Then the sum of all possible values of the area of $ABCD$ can be written in the form $\tfrac{a+b\sqrt{c}}{d},$ where $a,\ b,\ c,$ and $d$ are positive integers, $b$ and $d$ are relatively prime, and $c$ is prime. Find $a+b+c+d.$

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 $N$.

$ABCD$ is a rectangle with $AB = CD = 2$. A circle centered at $O$ is tangent to $BC$, $CD$, and $AD$ (and hence has radius $1$). Another circle, centered at $P$, is tangent to circle $O$ at point $T$ and is also tangent to $AB$ and $BC$. If line $AT$ is tangent to both circles at $T$, find the radius of circle $P$.

From each vertex of triangle $ABC$ we draw 3 arbitary parrallell lines, and from each vertex we draw a perpendicular to these lines. There are 3 rectangles that one of their diagnals is triangle's side. We draw their other diagnals and call them $\ell_1$, $\ell_2$ and $\ell_3$.
a) Prove that $\ell_1$, $\ell_2$ and $\ell_3$ are concurrent at a point $P$.
b) Find the locus of $P$ as we move the 3 arbitary lines.

Andy has 2010 square tiles, each of which has a side length of one unit. He plans to arrange
the tiles in an m x n rectangle, where mn = 2010. Compute the sum of the perimeters of all
of the different possible rectangles he can make. Two rectangles are considered to be the same
if one can be rotated to become the other, so, for instance, a 1 x 2010 rectangle is considered
to be the same as a 2010 x 1 rectangle.
