A convex polygon of sides $\ell_1, \ell_2, ..., \ell_n$ is called [i]ordered [/i] if for all reordering $( \sigma (1), \sigma (2), ..., \sigma (n))$ of the set $(1, 2,..., n)$ there exists a point $P$ inside the polygon such that $d_{\sigma (1)} < _{\sigma (2)} <...< d_{\sigma (n)}$ , where $d_i$ represents the distance between $P$ and side $\ell_i$. Find all the convex ordered polygons.

On the plane is drawn a triangle $ABC$ and a circle $\omega$ passing through the vertex $C$, the midpoints of the sides $AC$ and $BC$ and the point of intersection of the medians of the triangle $ABC$. The point $K$ lies on the circle $\omega$ such that $\angle AKB=90^o$. Using only with a ruler, draw a tangent to the circle $\omega$ at point $K$.

A convex polygon in the Cartesian plane has all of its vertices on integer coordinates. One of the sides of the polygon is $AB$ where $A = (0, 0)$ and $B = (51, 51)$, and the interior angles at $A$ and $B$ are both at most $45$ degrees. Assuming no $180$ degree angles, what is the maximum number of vertices this polygon can have?
