Post a problemA rigid planar shape must be moved around a right-angled corner in a hallway of width 1. What is the largest possible area of such a shape? Gerver's sofa has area about 2.2195. Prove that no shape with larger area can make the turn.
Using only a compass and an unmarked straightedge, can one construct in finitely many steps a square with exactly the same area as a given circle? Prove your answer.
A regular tetrahedron and a cube have the same volume. Can the tetrahedron be cut into finitely many polyhedral pieces that can be reassembled to form the cube? Prove your answer.
