"Here's a cool problem": a collection of short questions with clever solutions

Solution 1:

Evaluate:

$$\int_0^1\!\!\int_0^1\! \dfrac{1}{1-xy} \, \mathrm{d}x\mathrm{d}y$$

Solution 2:

Consider a 8x8 chessboard and 2x1 dominos. Clearly one can easily cover the whole chessboard with 32 dominos.

Now omit the squares on the bottom-left and top-right. There are 62 squares left on the chessboard. Can you cover them using 31 dominos?
