Infinitely many equidistant parallel lines are drawn in the plane. A positive integer is called frameable if it is possible to draw a regular polygon with sides all whose vertices lie on these lines and no line contains more than one vertex of the polygon.
(a) Show that are frameable.
(b) Show that any integer is not frameable. (c) Determine whether 5 is frameable.
A stromino is a rectangle. Show that a board divided into twenty-five squares cannot be covered by 16 strominos such that each stromino covers exactly three unit squares of the board and every unit square is covered by either one or two strominos. (A stromino can be placed either horizontally or vertically on the board.)
