Two straight lines are given on a plane, intersecting at point $O$ at an angle $a$. Let $A$, $B$ and $C $ be three points on one of the lines, located on one side of$ O$ and following in the indicated order, $M$ be an arbitrary point on another line, different from $O$, Let $\angle AMB=\gamma$, $\angle BMC = \phi$. Consider the function $F(M) = ctg \gamma + ctg \phi$ . Prove that$ F(M)$ takes the smallest value on each of the rays into which $O$ divides the second straight line. (Each has its own.) Let us denote one of these smallest values by $q$, and the other by $p$. Prove that the exprseeion $\frac{p}{q}$ is independent of choice of points $A$, $B$ and $C$. Express this relationship in terms of $a$.

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 $d < 4p$.
