The kid cut out of grid paper with the side of the cell $1$ rectangle along the grid lines and calculated its area and perimeter. Carlson snatched his scissors and cut out of this rectangle along the lines of the grid a square adjacent to the boundary of the rectangle. - My rectangle ... - kid sobbed. - There is something strange about this figure! - Nonsense, do not mention it - Carlson said - waving his hand carelessly. - Here you see, in this figure the perimeter is the same as the area of ​​the rectangle was, and the area is the same as was the perimeter! What size square did Carlson cut out?

We are given a positive integer $ r$ and a rectangular board $ ABCD$ with dimensions $ AB \equal{} 20, BC \equal{} 12$. The rectangle is divided into a grid of $ 20 \times 12$ unit squares. The following moves are permitted on the board: one can move from one square to another only if the distance between the centers of the two squares is $ \sqrt {r}$. The task is to find a sequence of moves leading from the square with $ A$ as a vertex to the square with $ B$ as a vertex. (a) Show that the task cannot be done if $ r$ is divisible by 2 or 3. (b) Prove that the task is possible when $ r \equal{} 73$. (c) Can the task be done when $ r \equal{} 97$?

Helen has a wooden rectangle of unknown dimensions, a straightedge, and a pencil (no compass). Is it possible for her to construct a line segment on the rectangle connecting the midpoints of two opposite sides, where she cannot draw any lines or points outside the rectangle? Note: Helen is allowed to draw lines between two points she has already marked, and mark the intersection of any two lines she has already drawn, if the intersection lies on the rectangle. Further, Helen is allowed to mark arbitrary points either on the rectangle or on a segment she has previously drawn. Assume that only the four vertices of the rectangle have been marked prior to the beginning of this process.
