Three colors are available to paint the plane. If each point in the plane is assigned one of these three colors, prove that there is a segment of length $1$ whose endpoints have the same color.

1965 Dutch Mathematical Olympiad, 4

We consider a number of points in a plane. Each of these points is connected to at least one of the other points by a line segment, in such a way that a figure arises that does not break up into different parts (that is, from any point along drawn line segments we can reach any other point).. We assign a point the ”order” $n$, when in this point $n$ line segments meet. We characterize the obtained figure by writing down the order of each of its points one after the other. For example, a hexagon is characterized by the combination $\{2,2,2,2,2,2\}$ and a star with six rays by $\{6,1,1,1,1,1,1\}$. (a) Sketch a figure' belonging to the combination $\{4,3,3,3,3\}$. (b) Give the combinations of all possible figures, of which the sum of the order numbers is equal to $6$. (c) Prove that every such combination contains an even number of odd numbers.

There are $12$ points on a circle. Four checkers, one red, one yellow, one green and one blue sit at neighboring points. In one move any checker can be moved four points to the left or right, onto the fifth point, if it is empty. If after several moves the checkers appear again at the four original points, how might their order have changed?

On a circle we consider a set $M$ consisting of $n$ ($n \ge 3$) points, of which only one is colored red. Determine of which polygons inscribed in a circle having the vertices in the set $M$ are more: those that contain the red dot or those that do not contain those points? How many more are there than others?
