To divide a given 2D convex region C into a specified number n of convex pieces all of equal area (perimeters could be different) such that the total perimeter of pieces is (1) maximized (2) minimized.
Remark: It appears maximizing the total perimeter is the easier problem.
Conjecture If every second positive integer except 2 is remaining, then every third remaining integer except 3, then every fourth remaining integer etc. , an infinite number of the remaining integers are prime.

Given integers , let be the smallest integer such that the symmetric group on the set of all words of length over a -letter alphabet can be generated as ( times), where is the shuffle permutation defined by , and is the exchange group consisting of all permutations in preserving the first letters in the words.
Problem Two players start at a distance of 2 on an (undirected) line (so, neither player knows the direction of the other) and both move at a maximum speed of 1. What is the infimum expected meeting time (first time when the players occupy the same point) which can be achieved assuming the two players must adopt the same strategy?
An -factor in a graph is a set of vertex-disjoint copies of covering all vertices of .

Conjecture An endomorphism of a graph is a mapping on the vertex set of the graph which preserves edges. Among all the vertices' trees, the star with vertices has the most endomorphisms, while the path with vertices has the least endomorphisms.
Conjecture For every rational and every rational , there is no polynomial-time algorithm for the following problem.
