itself. For each f ∈ X, define

Day 2
1 Let ABC be a trapezoid with parallel sides AB > CD. Points K and L lie
on the line segments AB and CD, respectively, so that AK/KB = DL/LC.
Suppose that there are points P and Q on the line segment KL satisfying
a2 + b2 + c2 ≤ 2abc + 1.

2 Let S be a finite set of points in the plane such that no three of them are on
a line. For each convex polygon P whose vertices are in S, let a(P ) be the
number of vertices of P , and let b(P ) be the number of points of S which are
outside P . A line segment, a point, and the empty set are considered as convex
polygons of 2, 1, and 0 vertices respectively. Prove that for every real number
x X
xa(P ) (1 − x)b(P ) = 1,
P
where the sum is taken over all convex polygons with vertices in S.
Alternative formulation:
Let M be a finite point set in the plane and no three points are collinear. A
subset A of M will be called round if its elements is the set of vertices of a
convex A − gon V (A). For each round subset let r(A) be the number of points
from M which are exterior from the convex A − gon V (A). Subsets with 0, 1
and 2 elements are always round, its corresponding polygons are the empty
set, a point or a segment, respectively (for which all other points that are not
vertices of the polygon are exterior). For each round subset A of M construct
the polynomial
PA (x) = x|A| (1 − x)r(A) .
Show that the sum of polynomials for all round subsets is exactly the polynomial
P (x) = 1.
