2020 Ukrainian Geometry Olympiad - April, 5

On the plane painted $101$ points in brown and another $101$ points in green so that there are no three lying on one line. It turns out that the sum of the lengths of all $5050$ segments with brown ends equals the length of all $5050$ segments with green ends equal to $1$, and the sum of the lengths of all $10201$ segments with multicolored equals $400$. Prove that it is possible to draw a straight line so that all brown points are on one side relative to it and all green points are on the other.

Pete has marked several (three or more) points in the plane such that all distances between them are different. A pair of marked points $A,B$ will be called unusual if $A$ is the furthest marked point from $B$, and $B$ is the nearest marked point to $A$ (apart from $A$ itself). What is the largest possible number of unusual pairs that Pete can obtain?

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.
