CAPS 2016 Problem 1

    Let PP be a non-degenerate polygon with nn sides, where n>4n > 4 . Prove that there exist three distinct vertices A,B,CA, B, C of PP with the following property:If ℓ1,ℓ2,ℓ3\ell_1,\ell_2,\ell_3 are the lengths of the three polygonal chains into which A,B,CA, B, C break the perimeter of PP , then there is a triangle with side lengths ℓ1,ℓ2\ell_1,\ell_2 and ℓ3\ell_3 . Remark: By a non-degenerate polygon we mean a polygon in which every two sides are disjoint, apart from consecutive ones, which share only the common endpoint.(Poland)
