An isosceles trapezium is called [i]right[/i] if only one pair of its sides are parallel (i.e parallelograms are not right). A dissection of a rectangle into $n$ (can be different shapes) right isosceles trapeziums is called [i]strict[/i] if the union of any $i,(2\leq i \leq n)$ trapeziums in the dissection do not form a right isosceles trapezium. Prove that for any $n, n\geq 9$ there is a strict dissection of a $2017 \times 2018$ rectangle into $n$ right isosceles trapeziums. [i]Proposed by Bojan Basic[/i]

A diagonal is drawn in an isosceles trapezoid. By the contour of each of the resulting two triangles creeps its own beetle. The velocities of the beetles are constant and identical. Beetles don't change directions around their contours, and along the diagonal of the trapezoid they crawl in different directions.
