APMO 2004 Problem 3

  • Paper

Let a set SS of 2004 points in the plane be given, no three of which are collinear. Let L\mathcal{L} denote the set of all lines (extended indefinitely in both directions) determined by pairs of points from the set. Show that it is possible to colour the points of SS with at most two colours, such that for any points p,qp, q of SS, the number of lines in L\mathcal{L} which separate pp from qq is odd if and only if pp and qq have the same colour. Note: A line ℓ\ell separates two points pp and qq if pp and qq lie on opposite sides of ℓ\ell with neither point on ℓ\ell.
