Draw a rectangle. Connect the midpoints of the opposite sides to get 4 congruent rectangles. Connect the midpoints of the lower right rectangle for a total of 7 rectangles. Repeat this process infinitely. Let be the minimum number of colors we can assign to the rectangles so that no two rectangles sharing an edge have the same color and be the minimum number of colors we can assign to the rectangles so that no two rectangles sharing a corner have the same color. Find the ordered pair .
