DE-BUNDESWETTBEWERB 2021 Problem 8
In the Cartesian plane, a line segment is called tame if it lies parallel to one of the coordinate axes and its distance to this axis is an integer. Otherwise it is called wild.
Let and be odd positive integers. The rectangle with vertices and is partitioned into finitely many triangles. Let be the set of these triangles. Assume that
(1) Each triangle from has at least one tame side. (2) For each tame side of a triangle from , the corresponding altitude has length . (3) Each wild side of a triangle from is a common side of exactly two triangles from .
Show that at least two triangles from have two tame sides each.
