Let $C_1,C_2$, and $C_3$ be points inside a bounded convex planar set $M$. Rays $l_1,l_2,l_3$ emanating from $C_1,C_2,C_3$ respectively partition the complement of the set $M \cup l_1 \cup l_2 \cup l_3$ into three regions $D_1,D_2,D_3$. Prove that if the convex sets $A$ and $B$ satisfy $A\cap l_j =\emptyset = B\cap l_j$ and $A\cap D_j \ne \emptyset \ne B\cap D_j$ for $j = 1,2,3$, then $A\cap B \ne \emptyset$

Prove that in an arbitrary convex hexagon there is a diagonal that cuts off from it a triangle whose area does not exceed $\frac16$ of the area of the hexagon. What are the properties of a convex hexagon, each diagonal of which is cut off from it is a triangle whose area is not less than $\frac16$ the area of the hexagon?
