8. Double placement 7
Place in grid some identical figures of free form, so that they don't
A 3 4 3 1 2 4 5 1 1 touch each other, even by the corners. Figures can be rotated
2 0 and/or reflected. Digits at the top and left show the number of
4 1 cells occupied by figures in corresponding rows and columns.
These figures are the set "A". Then place in the empty space
3 5 some more figures, following the Example:
2 5 same rules, so that digits at the
A 2 2 2 2 3 1
bottom and right show the number
4 1 of cells occupied by the set "B". 2 1
2 2 Answer key: describe the content 2 2
of the diagonal, going from bottom 2 2
2 5
left to top right corner, replacing 1 2
2 4 empty cells by "-", and used cells
3 2
3 1 by letters, corresponding to set.
For example the answer would 2 1
2 4 3 3 3 1 1 4 3 B be: -ABAAA. 0 1 4 0 1 4 B

9. The square of the circle 6

Divide this figure, hardly shaped like the circle, by the grid lines into
the smallest possible number of pieces, so that they can form a
square 12x12. The pieces can be rotated and reflected as needed.
Answer key: describe the original
Example:
figure, row by row, from top
to bottom, replacing the cells, A A
occupied with the same pieces, B C C C C
by the same letters. For example B B C C C C
the answer would be: AA, B B C C C C
BCCCC, BBCCCC, BBCCCC, D C C C
DCCC, CC. Only the solution C C
with the smallest number of
pieces will bring 6 points.

10. Optimal route ≤ 8

A B C D E F G H I J Draw the longest route in the grid, that doesn’t cross or
retrace itself, so that it consists only of repeating colour
1 sequences (e.g., GGWGWW x5). You can move from cell
2 to cell only by their common side. The sequence must be
fully repeated at least three times. At the end of the route,
3
the sequence need not be completely repeated.
4 Answer key: first write down the
length of the route, and the starting Example:
5
point. Then describe the colour A B C D E
6 sequence, replacing white cells by 1
7 “W”s, and grey cells by “G”s. For
example the answer would be: 18: 2
8
A2: WWGGG. Best answer brings 3
9 8 points; each next answer will 4
10 bring one point less. 5
