Let $P(x)$ be a nonconstant polynomial of degree $n$ with rational coefficients which can not be presented as a product of two nonconstant polynomials with rational coefficients. Prove that the number of polynomials $Q(x)$ of degree less than $n$ with rational coefficients such that $P(x)$ divides $P(Q(x))$
a) is finite
b) does not exceed $n$.

Rectangular line segments in russia

Source: All Russian 2025 9.1
Several line segments parallel to the sides of a rectangular sheet of paper were drawn on it. These segments divided the sheet into several rectangles, inside of which there are no drawn lines. Petya wants to draw one diagonal in each of the rectangles, dividing it into two triangles, and color each triangle either black or white. Is it always possible to do this in such a way that no two triangles of the same color share a segment of their boundary?
