TSTST 2024 Problem 1

  • Answer

For every ordered pair of integers (i,j)(i,j) , not necessarily positive, we wish to select a point Pi,jP_{i,j} in the Cartesian plane whose coordinates lie inside the unit square defined by

i<x<i+1,j<y<j+1.i< x< i + 1, j< y< j + 1.

Find all real numbers c>0c > 0 for which it's possible to choose these points such that for all integers ii and jj , the (possibly concave or degenerate) quadrilateral Pi,jPi+1,jPi+1,j+1Pi,j+1P_{i,j}P_{i + 1,j}P_{i + 1,j + 1}P_{i,j + 1} has perimeter strictly less than cc .
