We have $10,000$ identical equilateral triangles. Consider the largest regular hexagon that can be formed with these triangles without overlapping. How many triangles will not be used?

The cost of $1000$ grams of chocolate is $x$ dollars and the cost of $1000$ grams of potatoes is $y$ dollars, the numbers $x$ and $y$ are positive integers and have not more than $2$ digits. Mother said to Maria to buy $200$ grams of chocolate and $1000$ grams of potatoes that cost exactly $N$ dollars. Maria got confused and bought $1000$ grams of chocolate and $200$ grams of potatoes that cost exactly $M$ dollars ($M >N$). It turned out that the numbers $M$ and $N$ have no more than two digits and are formed of the same digits but in a different order. Find $x$ and $y$.

The side $BC$ of the triangle $ABC$ is extended beyond $C$ to $D$, such that $CD=BC$. The side $CA$ is extended beyond $A$ to $E$, such that $AE=2CA$. Prove that if $AD=BE$, then the triangle $ABC$ is right.

Determine all integers $m$, for which it is possible to dissect the square $m\times m$ into five rectangles, with the side lengths being the integers $1, 2, … ,10$ in some order.
