Given a square $ABCD$ with side length $6$. We draw line segments from the midpoints of each side to the vertices on the opposite side. For example, we draw line segments from the midpoint of side $AB$ to vertices $C$ and $D$. The eight resulting line segments together bound an octagon inside the square. What is the area of this octagon?

A polygon can be transformed into a new polygon by making a straight cut, which creates two new pieces each with a new edge. One piece is then turned over and the two new edges are reattached. Can repeated transformations of this type turn a square into a triangle?

A finite set of line segments, of total length $18$, belongs to a square of unit side length (we assume that the square includes its boundary and that a line segment includes its end points). The line segments are parallel to the sides of the square and may intersect one another. Prove that among the regions into which the square is divided by the line segments, at least one of these must have area not less than $0.01$. (A Berzinsh, Riga)
