We are given a convex polygon. Show that one can find a point $Q$ inside the polygon and three vertices $A_1,A_2,A_3$ (not necessarily consecutive) such that each ray $A_iQ$ ($i=1,2,3$) makes acute angles with the two sides emanating from $A_i$.

In the plane, we have any polygon that does not intersect itself and is closed. Given a point that is not on the edge of the polygon. How can we determine whether it is inside or outside the polygon? (the polygon has a finite number of sides) [hide=original wording]En el plano se tiene un poligono cualquiera que no se corta a si mismo y que es cerrado. Dado un punto que no esta sobre el borde del poligono, Como determinara se esta dentro o fuera del poligono? (el poligono tiene un numero nito de lados)[/hide]

$A$ and $B$ are two identical convex polygons, each with an area of $2015$. The polygon $A$ is divided into polygons $A_1, A_2,...,A_{2015}$, while $B$ is divided into polygons $B_1, B_2,...,B_{2015}$. Each of these smaller polygons has a positive area. Furthermore, $A_1, A_2,...,A_{2015}$ and $B_1, B_2,...,B_{2015}$ are colored in $2015$ distinct colors, such that $A_i$ and $A_j$ are differently colored for every distinct $i$ and $j$ and $B_i$ and $B_j$ are also differently colored for every distinct $i$ and $j$. After $A$ and $B$ overlap, we calculate the sum of the areas with the same colors. Prove that we can color the polygons such that this sum is at least $1$.
