A square with horizontal and vertical sides is drawn on the plane. It held several segments parallel to the sides, and there are no two segments which lie on one line or intersect at an interior point for both segments. It turned out that the segments cuts square into rectangles, and any vertical line intersecting the square and not containing segments of the partition intersects exactly $ k $ rectangles of the partition, and any horizontal line intersecting the square and not containing segments of the partition intersects exactly $\ell$ rectangles. How much the number of rectangles can be? [i]I. Bogdanov, D. Fon-Der-Flaass[/i]

We examine the following two sequences: The Fibonacci sequence: $F_{0}= 0, F_{1}= 1, F_{n}= F_{n-1}+F_{n-2 }$ for $n \geq 2$; The Lucas sequence: $L_{0}= 2, L_{1}= 1, L_{n}= L_{n-1}+L_{n-2}$ for $n \geq 2$. It is known that for all $n \geq 0$ \[F_{n}=\frac{\alpha^{n}-\beta^{n}}{\sqrt{5}},L_{n}=\alpha^{n}+\beta^{n}, \] where $\alpha=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2},\beta=\frac{1-\sqrt{5}}{2}$. These formulae can be used without proof. The coordinates of all vertices of a given rectangle are Fibonacci numbers. Suppose that the rectangle is not such that one of its vertices is on the $x$-axis and another on the $y$-axis. Prove that either the sides of the rectangle are parallel to the axes, or make an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the axes.

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?
