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 mm and nn be odd positive integers. The rectangle with vertices (0,0),(m,0),(m,n)(0,0),(m,0),(m,n) and (0,n)(0,n) is partitioned into finitely many triangles. Let MM be the set of these triangles. Assume that

    (1) Each triangle from MM has at least one tame side. (2) For each tame side of a triangle from MM , the corresponding altitude has length 11 . (3) Each wild side of a triangle from MM is a common side of exactly two triangles from MM .

    Show that at least two triangles from MM have two tame sides each.
