Ana and Beatriz take turns in a game that starts with a square of side $1$ drawn on an infinite grid. Each turn consists of drawing a square that does not overlap with the rectangle already drawn, in such a way that one of its sides is a (complete) side of the figure already drawn. A player wins if she completes a rectangle whose area is a multiple of $5$. If Ana goes first, does either player have a winning strategy?

Prove that we can find a square $2\times 2$ of 4 elements of the array, having the sides parallel with the sides of the array, and for which the sum of the elements in the square is greater than $3n$.

Let $K$ and $L$ be positive integers. On a board consisting of $2K \times 2L$ unit squares an ant starts in the lower left corner square and walks to the upper right corner square. In each step it goes horizontally or vertically to a neighbouring square. It never visits a square twice. At the end some squares may remain unvisited. In some cases the collection of all unvisited squares forms a single rectangle. In such cases, we call this rectangle [i]MEMOrable[/i]. Determine the number of different MEMOrable rectangles. [i]Remark: Rectangles are different unless they consist of exactly the same squares.[/i]

A certain number of cubes are painted in six colours, each cube having six faces of different colours (the colours in different cubes may be arranged differently) . The cubes are placed on a table so as to form a rectangle. We are allowed to take out any column of cubes, rotate it (as a whole) along its long axis and replace it in the rectangle. A similar operation with rows is also allowed. Can we always make the rectangle monochromatic (i.e. such that the top faces of all the cubes are the same colour) by means of such operations? ( D. Fomin , Leningrad)

A finite set $S$ of unit squares is chosen out of a large grid of unit squares. The squares of $S$ are tiled with isosceles right triangles of hypotenuse $2$ so that the triangles do not overlap each other, do not extend past $S$, and all of $S$ is fully covered by the triangles. Additionally, the hypotenuse of each triangle lies along a grid line, and the vertices of the triangles lie at the corners of the squares. Show that the number of triangles must be a multiple of $4$.
