A rectangle $ D$ is partitioned in several ($ \ge2$) rectangles with sides parallel to those of $ D$. Given that any line parallel to one of the sides of $ D$, and having common points with the interior of $ D$, also has common interior points with the interior of at least one rectangle of the partition; prove that there is at least one rectangle of the partition having no common points with $ D$'s boundary.

Jonathan and Eric are standing one kilometer apart on a large, flat, empty field. Jonathan rotates an angle of $\theta = 120^o$ counterclockwise around Eric, then Eric moves half of the distance to Jonathan. They keep repeating the previous two movements in this order. After a very long time, their locations approach a point $P$ on the field. What is the distance, in kilometers, from Jonathan’s starting location to $P$?

A red coin is placed in a cell of $2n \times 2n$ board. Every move it can either move like a bishop and change its color (red to blue, blue to red), or move like a knight and not change its color. After some time the coin has visited every cell exactly twice. Prove that the number of cells in which the coin was both red and blue is even. [i]M. Zorka[/i]

Two small, equal masses are attached by a lightweight rod. This object orbits a planet; the length of the rod is smaller than the radius of the orbit, but not negligible. The rod rotates about its axis in such a way that it remains vertical with respect to the planet. Is there a force in the rod? If so, tension or compression? Is the equlibrium stable, unstable, or neutral wrt small perturbations in the vertical angle of the rod? (A) There is no force in the rod; the equilibrium is neutral. (B) The rod is in tension; the equilibrium is stable. (C) The rod is in compression; the equilibrium is stable. (D) The rod is in tension; the equilibrium is unstable. (E) The rod is in compression; the equilibrium is unstable.
