2 Prove that it is impossible to choose more than n diagonals of a convex polygon with n sides, such that every pair of them have a common point.

Hence the total number of uniform arrows is at least 24. Now there are 63 D 20 triangles in the graph. Each triangle contains 3 arrows. If the three edges of the triangle are of the same color, all 3 arrows are uniform. If not, exactly 1 of them is uniform. Let T be the number of triangles all edges of which are of the same color. 1 Among any four members of a group of travelers, there is one who knows all of the other three. Prove that among each foursome, there is one who knows all of the other travelers.

Since AB is free, no points in its interior belong to the subset. Since A is chosen, no points in the interior of the arc BC belong to the subset. Since B is chosen, no points in the interior of the arc CA belong to the subset. Hence the subset can have at most 3 points. Since n > 1, we cannot get n C 2 points. Finally, suppose the longest free arc has length at least two-thirds of the circle. Then there are n C 1 points not in its interior, and we cannot get n C 2 points. Third Solution If we choose the number k, then we cannot choose any of kCnC1; kCnC2, : : : ; kC2n 1.
