    Version 1. Let nn be a fixed positive integer, and let S be the set of points (x,y)(x, y) on the Cartesian plane such that both coordinates xx and yy are nonnegative integers smaller than 2n2 n (thus ∣S∣=4n2|S|=4 n^{2} ). Assume that F\mathcal{F} is a set consisting of n2n^{2} quadrilaterals such that all their vertices lie in SS, and each point in SS is a vertex of exactly one of the quadrilaterals in F\mathcal{F}. Determine the largest possible sum of areas of all n2n^{2} quadrilaterals in F\mathcal{F}. Version 2. Let nn be a fixed positive integer, and let S be the set of points (x,y)(x, y) on the Cartesian plane such that both coordinates xx and yy are nonnegative integers smaller than 2n2 n (thus ∣S∣=4n2|\mathrm{S}|=4 n^{2} ). Assume that F\mathcal{F} is a set of polygons such that all vertices of polygons in F\mathcal{F} lie in S , and each point in S is a vertex of exactly one of the polygons in F\mathcal{F}. Determine the largest possible sum of areas of all polygons in F\mathcal{F}.
