Let be an integer. An inner diagonal of a simple n-gon is a diagonal that is contained in the
-gon. Denote by
the number of all inner diagonals of a simple
-gon
and by
the least possible value of
, where
is a simple
-gon. Prove that no two inner diagonals of
intersect (except possibly at a common endpoint) if and only if
.
Remark: A simple -gon is a non-self-intersecting polygon with
vertices. A polygon is not necessarily convex.
There are students standing in line in positions
to
. While the teacher looks away, some students change their positions. When the teacher looks back, they are standing in line again. If a student who was initially in position
is now in position
, we say the student moved for
steps. Determine the maximal sum of steps of all students that they can achieve.
Let be the incentre of triangle
with
and let the line
intersect the side
at
. Suppose that point
lies on the segment
and satisfies
. Further, let
be the point obtained by reflecting
over the perpendicular bisector of
, and let
be the other intersection of the circumcircles of the triangles
and
. Prove that
