A rectangular building consists of $30$ square rooms situated like the cells of a $2 \times 15$ board. In each room there are three doors, each of which leads to another room (not necessarily different). How many ways are there to distribute the doors between the rooms so that it is possible to get from any room to any other one without leaving the building?
A $3\times 1$ paper rectangle is folded twice to give a square side $1$. The square is folded along a diagonal to give a right-angled triangle. A needle is driven through an interior point of the triangle, making $6$ holes in the paper. The paper is then unfolded. Where should the point be in order to maximise the smallest distance between any two holes?
Prove that the bisectors of the angles of a rectangle, extended to their mutual intersection, form a square.
