Given a point $X$ and $n$ vectors $\overrightarrow{x_i}$ with sum zero in the plane. For each permutation of the vectors we form a set of $n$ points, by starting at $X$ and adding the vectors in order. For example, with the original ordering we get $X_1$ such that $XX_1 = \overrightarrow{x_1}, X_2$ such that $X_1X_2 = \overrightarrow{x_2}$ and so on. Show that for some permutation we can find two points $Y, Z$ with angle $\angle YXZ = 60^o $, so that all the points lie inside or on the triangle $XYZ$.
