Amy has divided a square into finitely many white and red rectangles, each with sides parallel to the sides of the square. Within each white rectangle, she writes down its width divided by its height. Within each red rectangle, she writes down its height divided by its width. Finally, she calculates $x$, the sum of these numbers. If the total area of white equals the total area of red, determine the minimum of $x$.

The columns and the row of a $3n \times 3n$ square board are numbered $1,2,\ldots ,3n$. Every square $(x,y)$ with $1 \leq x,y \leq 3n$ is colored asparagus, byzantium or citrine according as the modulo $3$ remainder of $x+y$ is $0,1$ or $2$ respectively. One token colored asparagus, byzantium or citrine is placed on each square, so that there are $3n^2$ tokens of each color.
Suppose that one can permute the tokens so that each token is moved to a distance of at most $d$ from its original position, each asparagus token replaces a byzantium token, each byzantium token replaces a citrine token, and each citrine token replaces an asparagus token. Prove that it is possible to permute the tokens so that each token is moved to a distance of at most $d+2$ from its original position, and each square contains a token with the same color as the square.

An angle is given in a plane. Using only a compass, one must find out

A figure $\Phi$ composed of unit squares has the following property: if the squares of an $m \times n$ rectangle ($m,n$ are fixed) are filled with numbers whose sum is positive, the figure $\Phi$ can be placed within the rectangle (possibly after being rotated) so that the sum of the covered numbers is also positive. Prove that a number of such figures can be put on the $m\times n$ rectangle so that each square is covered by the same number of figures.

Consider the $2\times3$ rectangle below. We fill in the small squares with the numbers $1,2,3,4,5,6$ (one per square). Define a [i]tasty[/i] filling to be one such that each row is [b]not[/b] in numerical order from left to right and each column is [b]not[/b] in numerical order from top to bottom. If the probability that a randomly selected filling is tasty is $\frac{m}{n}$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$, what is $m+n$?

Into each box of a $ 2012 \times 2012 $ square grid, a real number greater than or equal to $ 0 $ and less than or equal to $ 1 $ is inserted. Consider splitting the grid into $2$ non-empty rectangles consisting of boxes of the grid by drawing a line parallel either to the horizontal or the vertical side of the grid. Suppose that for at least one of the resulting rectangles the sum of the numbers in the boxes within the rectangle is less than or equal to $ 1 $, no matter how the grid is split into $2$ such rectangles. Determine the maximum possible value for the sum of all the $ 2012 \times 2012 $ numbers inserted into the boxes.
