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 same operations are performed with the pentagon $P'$, let $N'$ be the similar difference calculated for this pentagon. Prove that $N > N'$.

Let $n \ge 4$ be an integer. Find the maximum value of the area of a $n$-gon which is inscribed in the circle of radius $1$ and has two perpendicular diagonals.
Suppose we have a $n$-gon. Some $n-3$ diagonals are coloured black and some other $n-3$ diagonals are coloured red (a side is not a diagonal), so that no two diagonals of the same colour can intersect strictly inside the polygon, although they can share a vertex. Find the maximum number of intersection points between diagonals coloured differently strictly inside the polygon, in terms of $n$.
