Question 170

Vandal Evan cut a rectangular portrait of Professor Zvezda along a straight line. Then he cut one of the pieces along a straight line, and so on. After he had made 100 cuts, Professor Zvezda walked in and forced him to pay 2 cents for each triangular piece and 1 cent for each quadrilateral piece. Prove that Vandal Evan paid more than $1$.
