In a village, there are $n$ houses with $n>2$ and all of them are not collinear. We want to generate a water resource in the village. For doing this, point $A$ is [i]better[/i] than point $B$ if the sum of the distances from point $A$ to the houses is less than the sum of the distances from point $B$ to the houses. We call a point [i]ideal[/i] if there doesn’t exist any [i]better[/i] point than it. Prove that there exist at most $1$ [i]ideal[/i] point to generate the resource.
