An approximate construction of a regular pentagon goes as follows. Inscribe an arbitrary convex pentagon $P_1P_2P_3P_4P_5$ in a circle. Now choose an arror bound $\epsilon > 0$ and apply the following procedure. (a) Denote $P_0 = P_5$ and $P_6 = P_1$ and construct the midpoint $Q_i$ of the circular arc $P_{i-1}P_{i+1}$ containing $P_i$. (b) Rename the vertices $Q_1,...,Q_5$ as $P_1,...,P_5$. (c) Repeat this procedure until the difference between the lengths of the longest and the shortest among the arcs $P_iP_{i+1}$ is less than $\epsilon$. Prove this procedure must end in a finite time for any choice of $\epsilon$ and the points $P_i$.

1983 Bundeswettbewerb Mathematik, 3

There are $k$ points in the interior of a pentagon. Together with the vertices of the pentagon they form a $(k + 5)$-element set $M$. The area of the pentagon is defined by connecting lines between the points of $M$ into sub-areas in such a way that it is divided into sub-areas in such a way that no sub-areas have a point on their interior of $M$ and contains exactly three points of $M$ on the boundary of each part. None of the connecting lines has a point in common with any other connecting line or pentagon side, which does not belong to $M$. With such a decomposition of the pentagon, there can be an even number of connecting lines (including the pentagon sides) go out? The answer has to be justified.
