1989 Tournament Of Towns, (211) 5

The centre of a circle is the origin of $N$ vectors whose ends divide the circle in $N$ equal arcs . Some of the vectors are blue and some are red . We calculate the sum of the angles formed between each pair consisting of a red vector and a blue vector (the angle being measured anticlockwise from red to blue) and divide this sum by the total number of such angles . Prove that the "mean angle" thus obtained is $180^o$. (V. P roizvolov)

Let $P$ be a point in the interior of the triangle $ABC$ such that $\angle CAP = \angle CBP = \angle ACB$.
