CMO 1993 Problem 4

  • Day 2

We are given a set S={z1,z2,⋯ ,z1993}S=\{z_1,z_2,\cdots ,z_{1993}\} , where z1,z2,⋯ ,z1993z_1,z_2,\cdots ,z_{1993} are nonzero complex numbers (also viewed as nonzero vectors in the plane). Prove that we can divide SS into some groups such that the following conditions are satisfied: (1) Each element in SS belongs and only belongs to one group; (2) For any group pp , if we use T(p)T(p) to denote the sum of all memebers in pp , then for any memeber zi(1≤i≤1993)z_i (1\le i \le 1993) of pp , the angle between ziz_i and T(p)T(p) does not exceed 90∘90^{\circ} ; (3) For any two groups pp and qq , the angle between T(p)T(p) and T(q)T(q) exceeds 90∘90^{\circ} (use the notation introduced in (2)).
