A mouse is sitting in a toy car on a negligibly small turntable. The car cannot turn on its own, but the mouse can control when the car is launched and when the car stops (the car has brakes). When the mouse chooses to launch, the car will immediately leave the turntable on a straight trajectory at $1$ meter per second. Suddenly someone turns on the turntable; it spins at $30$ rpm. Consider the set $S$ of points the mouse can reach in his car within $1$ second after the turntable is set in motion. What is the area of $S$, in square meters?

Vero had an isosceles triangle made of paper. Using scissors, he divided it into three smaller triangles and painted them blue, red and green. Having done so, he observed that: $\bullet$ with the blue triangle and the red triangle an isosceles triangle can be formed, $\bullet$ with the blue triangle and the green triangle an isosceles triangle can be formed, $\bullet$ with the red triangle and the green triangle an isosceles triangle can be formed. Show what Vero's triangle looked like and how he might have made the cuts to make this situation be possible.

Determine the largest possible number of groups one can compose from the integers $1,2,3,..., 19,20$, so that the product of the numbers in each group is a perfect square. (The group may contain exactly one number, in that case the product equals this number, each number must be in exactly one group.) (E. Barabanov, I. Voronovich)
