Let $S=\{a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_n\}$ of nenul vectors in a plane. Show that $S{}$ can be partitioned in nenul subsets $B_1, B_2,\ldots, B_m$ with the properties: 1) each vector from $S{}$ is part of only on subset; 2) if $a_i\in B_j$ then the angle between vectors $a_i$ and $c_j$, which is the sum of all vectors from $B_j$ is not greater than $\frac{\pi}{2}$; 3) if $i\neq j$ then the angle between vectors $c_i$ and $c_j$, which is the sum of all vectors from $B_i$ and $B_j$, respectively, is greater than $\frac{\pi}{2}$. What are the possible values of $m$?

A $15$-inch-long stick has four marks on it, dividing it into five segments of length $1,2,3, 4$, and $5$ inches (although not neccessarily in that order) to make a “ruler.” Here is an example. [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/0/e/065d42b36083453f3586970125bedbc804b8a1.png[/img] Using this ruler, you could measure $8$ inches (between the marks $B$ and $D$) and $11$ inches (between the end of the ruler at $A$ and the mark at $E$), but there’s no way you could measure $12$ inches. Prove that it is impossible to place the four marks on the stick such that the five segments have length $1,2,3, 4$, and $5$ inches, and such that every integer distance from $1$ inch through $15$ inches could be measured.
