Inside a $2\times 2$ square, lines parallel to a side of the square (both horizontal and vertical) are drawn thereby dividing the square into rectangles. The rectangles are alternately colored black and white like a chessboard. Prove that if the total area of the white rectangles is equal to the total area of the black rectangles, then one can cut out the black rectangles and reassemble them into a $1\times 2$ rectangle.

A rectangular sheet of paper (white on one side and gray on the other) was folded three times, as shown in the figure:
Rectangle $1$, which was white after the first fold, has $20$ cm more perimeter than rectangle $2$, which was white after the second fold, and this in turn has $16$ cm more perimeter than rectangle $3$, which was white after the third fold. Determine the area of the sheet.

A rectangular piece of paper whose length is $\sqrt3$ times the width has area $A$. The paper is divided into equal sections along the opposite lengths, and then a dotted line is drawn from the first divider to the second divider on the opposite side as shown. The paper is then folded flat along this dotted line to create a new shape with area $B$. What is the ratio $B:A$?

Square $ABCD$ is cut by a line segment $EF$ into two rectangles $AEFD$ and $BCFE$. The lengths of the sides of each of these rectangles are positive integers. It is known that the area of the rectangle $AEFD$ is $30$ and it is larger than the area of the rectangle $BCFE$. Find the area of square $ABCD$.

We consider a game on an infinite chessboard similar to that of solitaire: If two adjacent fields are occupied by pawns and the next field is empty (the three fields lie on a vertical or horizontal line), then we may remove these two pawns and put one of them on the third field. Prove that if in the initial position pawns fill a $3k \times n$ rectangle, then it is impossible to reach a position with only one pawn on the board.

We have an $n \times n$ board, and in every square there is an integer. The sum of all integers on the board is $0$. We define an action on a square where the integer in the square is decreased by the number of neighbouring squares, and the number inside each of the neighbouring squares is increased by 1. Determine if there exists $n\geq 2$ such that we can turn all the integers into zeros in a finite number of actions.

You have some white one-by-one tiles and some black and white two-bye-one tiles as shown below. There are four different color patterns that can be generated when using these tiles to cover a three-by-one rectangoe by laying these tiles side by side (WWW, BWW, WBW, WWB). How many different color patterns can be generated when using these tiles to cover a ten-by-one rectangle?
