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 in at least one of these parts one can completely fit a square with side $\frac{1}{n+1}$ [hide=original wording]Одиничний квадрат розрізано $n$ прямими на частини. Доведіть, що хоча б в одній з цих частин можна повністю розмістити квадрат зі стороною $\frac{1}{n+1}$[/hide] [hide=notes] The selection panel jury made a mistake because the solution known to it turned out to be incorrect. As it turned out, the assertion of the problem is still correct, although it cannot be proved by simple methods, see. article: Keith Ball.

Let $d$ be an even positive integer. John writes the numbers $1^2 ,3^2 ,\ldots,(2n-1)^2 $ on the blackboard and then chooses three of them, let them be ${a_1}, {a_2}, {a_3}$, erases them and writes the number $1+ \displaystyle\sum_{1\le i<j\leq 3} |{a_i} -{a_j}|$ He continues until two numbers remain written on on the blackboard. Prove that the sum of squares of those two numbers is different than the numbers $1^2 ,3^2 ,\ldots,(2n-1)^2$. (Albania)
