Over each side of a cyclic quadrilateral erect a rectangle whose height is equal to the length of the opposite side. Prove that the centers of these rectangles form another rectangle.
A tortoise walks $60$ meters per hour and a lizard walks at $240$ meters per hour. There is a rectangle $ABCD$ where $AB =60$ and $AD =120$. Both start from the vertex $A$ and in the same direction ($A \to B \to D \to A$), crossing the edge of the rectangle. The lizard has the habit of advancing two consecutive sides of the rectangle, turning to go back one, turning to go forward two, turning to go back one and so on. How many times and in what places do the tortoise and the lizard meet when the tortoise completes its third turn?
Three given rectangles cover the sides of a triangle completely and each rectangle has a side parallel to a given line. Show that the rectangles also cover the interior of the triangle.
Let $ABC$ be an equilateral triangle whose sides have length $1$. The midpoints of $AB,BC$ are $M,N$ respectively. Points $K,L$ were chosen on $AC$ so that $KLMN$ is a rectangle. Inside this rectangle are three semi-circles with the same radius, as in the picture (the endpoints are on the edges of the rectangle, and the arcs are tangent).
Find the minimum possible value of the radii of the semi-circles.
Is there a square with side lenght $\ell < 1$ that can completely cover any rectangle of diagonal $1$?

We have a grid of $k^2-k+1$ rows and $k^2-k+1$ columns, where $k=p+1$ and $p$ is prime. For each prime $p$, give a method to put the numbers 0 and 1, one number for each square in the grid, such that on each row there are exactly $k$ 0's, on each column there are exactly $k$ 0's, and there is no rectangle with sides parallel to the sides of the grid with 0s on each four vertices.
Cut the $9 \times 10$ grid rectangle along the grid lines into several squares so that there are exactly two of them with odd sidelengths.
A natural number $k$ is said $n$-squared if by colouring the squares of a $2n \times k$ chessboard, in any manner, with $n$ different colours, we can find $4$ separate unit squares of the same colour, the centers of which are vertices of a rectangle having sides parallel to the sides of the board. Determine, in function of $n$, the smallest natural $k$ that is $n$-squared.
The diagram below shows the regular hexagon $BCEGHJ$ surrounded by the rectangle $ADFI$.
