Robin has obtained a circular pizza with radius $2$. However, being rebellious, instead of slicing the pizza radially, he decides to slice the pizza into $4$ strips of equal width both vertically and horizontally. What is the area of the smallest piece of pizza?
Suppose that $ s_1,s_2,s_3, \ldots$ is a strictly increasing sequence of positive integers such that the sub-sequences \[s_{s_1},\, s_{s_2},\, s_{s_3},\, \ldots\qquad\text{and}\qquad s_{s_1+1},\, s_{s_2+1},\, s_{s_3+1},\, \ldots\] are both arithmetic progressions. Prove that the sequence $ s_1, s_2, s_3, \ldots$ is itself an arithmetic progression.

On a table there are 2004 boxes, and in each box a ball lies. I know that some the balls are white and that the number of white balls is even. In each case I may point to two arbitrary boxes and ask whether in the box contains at least a white ball lies. After which minimum number of questions I can indicate two boxes for sure, in which white balls lie?
