A convex polygon has the property that its vertices are coloured by three colors, each colour occurring at least once and any two adjacent vertices having different colours. Prove that the polygon can be divided into triangles by diagonals, no two of which intersect in the [b]interior[/b] of the polygon, in such a way that all the resulting triangles have vertices of all three colours.

A convex polygon $P$ lies on a flat wooden table. You are allowed to drive some nails into the table. The nails must not go through $P$, but they may touch its boundary. We say that a set of nails blocks $P$ if the nails make it impossible to move $P$ without lifting it off the table. What is the minimum number of nails that suffices to block any convex polygon $P$?

İn convex hexagon $ABCDEF$'s diagonals $AD,BE,CF$ intercepts each other at point $O$. If the area of triangles $AOB,COD,EOF$ are $4,6$ and $9$ respectively, find the minimum possible value of area of hexagon $ABCDEF$
A pupil has tried to make a copy of a convex polygon, drawn inside the unit circle. He draw one side, from its end -- another, and so on. Having finished, he has noticed that the first and the last vertices do not coincide, but are situated $d$ units of length far from each other. The pupil draw angles precisely, but made relative error less than $p$ in the lengths of sides. Prove that $d < 4p$.
A convex, closed figure lies inside a given circle. The figure is seen from every point of the circumference at a right angle (that is, the two rays drawn from the point and supporting the convex figure are perpendicular). Prove that the center of the circle is a center of symmetry of the figure.
