Kati cut two equal regular $ n\minus{}gons$ out of paper. To the vertices of both $ n\minus{}gons$, she wrote the numbers 1 to $ n$ in some order. Then she stabbed a needle through the centres of these $ n\minus{}gons$ so that they could be rotated with respect to each other. Kati noticed that there is a position where the numbers at each pair of aligned vertices are different. Prove that the $ n\minus{}gons$ can be rotated to a position where at least two pairs of aligned vertices contain equal numbers.

Niki and Kyle play a triangle game. Niki first draws $\triangle ABC$ with area $1$, and Kyle picks a point $X$ inside $\triangle ABC$. Niki then draws segments $\overline{DG}$, $\overline{EH}$, and $\overline{FI}$, all through $X$, such that $D$ and $E$ are on $\overline{BC}$, $F$ and $G$ are on $\overline{AC}$, and $H$ and $I$ are on $\overline{AB}$. The ten points must all be distinct. Finally, let $S$ be the sum of the areas of triangles $DEX$, $FGX$, and $HIX$. Kyle earns $S$ points, and Niki earns $1-S$ points. If both players play optimally to maximize the amount of points they get, who will win and by how much?
