There is a board with the shape of an equilateral triangle with side $n$ divided into triangular cells with the shape of equilateral triangles with side $ 1$ (the figure below shows the board when $n = 4$ ). Each and every triangular cell is colored either red or blue. What is the least number of cells that can be...
To solve this problem, we need to determine the least number of blue cells such that no two red cells share a side. We will use a systematic approach to find the minimum number of blue cells required. 1. **Understanding the Problem:** - We have an equilateral triangle of side length \( n \) divided into smaller equ...

Two infinite rows of evenly-spaced dots are aligned as in the figure below. Arrows point from every dot in the top row to some dot in the lower row in such a way that: - No two arrows point at the same dot. - Now arrow can extend right or left by more than 1006 positions. ![Image](https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/...
1. **Assume there are 2013 points in the lower row which have no arrow pointing to them.** Let these points be denoted as \( b_1, b_2, \ldots, b_{2013} \). 2. **Consider the points directly above these 2013 points in the top row.** Denote these points as \( a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_{2013} \), where \( a_i \) is direc...
