We say that a polygon $P$ is inscribed in another polygon $Q$ when all the vertices of $P$ belong to the perimeter of $Q$. We also say in this case that $Q$ is circumscribed to $P$. Given a triangle $T$, let $\ell$ be the largest side of a square inscribed in $T$ and $L$ is the shortest side of a square circumscribed to $T$ . Find the smallest possible value of the ratio $L/\ell$ .

a) A certain locker room contains $n$ lockers numbered $1,2,\ldots,n$ and all are originally locked. An attendant performs a sequence of operations $T_1, T_2 ,\ldots, T_n$, whereby with the operation $T_k$ the state of those lockers whose number is divisible by $k$ is swapped. After all $n$ operations have been performed, it is observed that all lockers whose number is a perfect square (and only those lockers) are open. Prove this.
b) Investigate in a meaningful mathematical way a procedure or set of operations similar to those above which will produce the set of cubes, or the set of numbers of the form $2 m^2 $, or the set of numbers of the form $m^2 +1$, or some nontrivial similar set of your own selection.
