Denote by $T_k$ $(k \le n)$ the convex $k$-gon of the largest area, with vertices at the points $A_1, A_2, ..., A_n$ and by $T_k(A+1)$ the convex k-gon of the largest area with vertices at the points $A_1, A_2, ..., A_n$ in which one of the vertices is in $A_1$.

Let $K_1,...,K_d$ be convex, compact sets in $R^d$ with non-empty interior. Suppose they are strongly separated, which means for any choice of $x_1 \in K_1, x_2 \in K_2, ...$, their affine hull is a hyperplane in $R^d$. Also let $0< \alpha_i <1$. A half-space H is called an $\alpha$-cut if $vol(K_i \cap H) = \alpha_i\cdot vol(K_i)$ for all i.
How many $\alpha$-cuts are there?

Consider a convex $n$-gon in the plane with $n$ being odd. Prove that if one may find a point in the plane from which all the sides of the $n$-gon are viewed at equal angles, then this point is unique. (We say that segment $AB$ is viewed at angle $\gamma$ from point $O$ iff $\angle AOB =\gamma$ .)

A convex pentagon $P $ is divided by all its diagonals into ten triangles and one smaller pentagon $P'$. Let $N$ be the sum of areas of five triangles adjacent to the sides of $P$ decreased by the area of $P'$.

The figure $ABCDE$ is a convex pentagon. Find the sum $\angle DAC + \angle EBD +\angle ACE +\angle BDA + \angle CEB$?

The convex $n$-gon ($n\ge 5$) is cut along all its diagonals. Prove that there are at least a pair of parts with the different areas.
a) Given $5$ points on a plane, no three of which lie on one line. Prove that four of these points can be taken as vertices of a convex quadrilateral.
b) Inside a square, consider a convex quadrilateral and inside the quadrilateral, take a point $A$. It so happens that no three of the $9$ points — the vertices of the square, of the quadrilateral and $A$ — lie on one line. Prove that $5$ of these points are vertices of a convex pentagon.
Given a convex pentagon $ABCDE$, prove that if an arbitrary point $M$ inside the pentagon is connected by lines with all the pentagon’s vertices, then either one or three or five of these lines cross the sides of the pentagon opposite the vertices they pass.
Note: In reality, we need to exclude the points of the diagonals, because that in this case the drawn lines can pass not through the internal points of the sides, but through the vertices. But if the drawn diagonals are not considered or counted twice (because they are drawn from two vertices), then the statement remains true.
Each diagonal of a convex pentagon is parallel to one side of the pentagon. Prove that the ratio of the length of a diagonal to that of its corresponding side is the same for all five diagonals, and compute this ratio.
