Arranging pins on a microchip
Python: 64 53 46 bytes
x=input()
m=x+3&amp;~3
t=m-x
print m,m/4,t-t/2,t/2

Second Third attempt seems pretty minimal. Thanks for the help.
First attempt seems sort of long, we'll see what an hour or two of mulling it over will shave off of the byte count. Could also probably make it shorter if a function is allowed instead of program.
&gt; python chip.py

Also made a version that prints chips, seems like the -50 isn't worth it in python. Total score of 102-50=52.
x=input()
m=x+3&amp;~3
n=m/4
t=m-x
s=['+'*-~n]
print'\n'.join(s+['+'+' '*~-n+'+']*~-n+s+[`m,n,t-t/2,t/2`])
