On the plane painted $101$ points in brown and another $101$ points in green so that there are no three lying on one line. It turns out that the sum of the lengths of all $5050$ segments with brown ends equals the length of all $5050$ segments with green ends equal to $1$, and the sum of the lengths of all $10201$ segments with multicolored equals $400$. Prove that it is possible to draw a straight line so that all brown points are on one side relative to it and all green points are on the other.

There are $20$ points in the plane and no three of them are collinear. Of these points $10$ are red while the other $10$ are blue. Prove that there exists a straight line such that there are $5$ red points and $5$ blue points on either side of this line. (A Kushnirenko, Moscow)

1966 IMO Longlists, 52

A figure with area $1$ is cut out of paper. We divide this figure into $10$ parts and color them in $10$ different colors. Now, we turn around the piece of paper, divide the same figure on the other side of the paper in $10$ parts again (in some different way). Show that we can color these new parts in the same $10$ colors again (hereby, different parts should have different colors) such that the sum of the areas of all parts of the figure colored with the same color on both sides is $\geq \frac{1}{10}.$

The plane shows $2020$ straight lines in general position, that is, there are none three intersecting at one point but no two parallel. Let's say, that the drawn line $a$ [i]detaches [/i] the drawn line $b$ if all intersection points of line $b$ with the other drawn lines lie in one half plane wrt to line $a$ (given the most straightforward $a$). Prove that you can be guaranteed find two drawn lines $a$ and $b$ that $a$ detaches $b$, but $b$ does not detach $a$.

A point in the cartesian plane with integer coordinates is called a lattice point. Consider the following one player game. A finite set of selected lattice points and finite set of selected segments is called a position in this game if the following hold: (i) The endpoints of each selected segment are lattice points; (ii) Each selected segment is parallel to a coordinate axis or to one of the lines $y = \pm x$, (iii) Each selected segment contains exactly five lattice points, all of which are selected, (iv) Every two selected segments have at most one common point. A move in this game consists of selecting a lattice point and a segment such that the new set of selected lattice points and segments is a position. Prove or disprove that there exists an initial position such that the game can have infinitely many moves.

A lattice point in the plane is a point both of whose coordinates are integers. Each lattice point has four neighboring points: upper, lower, left, and right. Let $k$ be a circle with radius $r \geq 2$, that does not pass through any lattice point. An interior boundary point is a lattice point lying inside the circle $k$ that has a neighboring point lying outside $k$. Similarly, an exterior boundary point is a lattice point lying outside the circle $k$ that has a neighboring point lying inside $k$. Prove that there are four more exterior boundary points than interior boundary points.

On a circle we consider a set $M$ consisting of $n$ ($n \ge 3$) points, of which only one is colored red.

How many more are there than others?
