Problem 4

Let ABCDABCD be a rectangle with AB≥BCAB\ge BC Point MM is located on the side (AD)(AD) , and the perpendicular bisector of [MC][MC] intersects the line BCBC at the point NN . Let Q=MN∪AB{Q} =MN\cup AB . Knowing that ∠MQA=2⋅∠BCQ\angle MQA= 2\cdot \angle BCQ , show that the quadrilateral ABCDABCD is a square.

Problem 5

A lantern needs exactly 22 charged batteries in order to work.We have available nn charged batteries and nn uncharged batteries, n≥4n\ge 4 (all batteries look the same). A try consists in introducing two batteries in the lantern and verifying if the lantern works.Prove that we can find a pair of charged batteries in at most n+2n+2 tries.
