OME 2013 Problem 3

    Let k,nk,n be positive integers with n≥k≥3n \geq k \geq 3 . We consider n+1n+1 points on the real plane with none three of them on the same line. We colour any segment between the points with one of kk possibilities. We say that an angle is a "bicolour angle" iff its vertex is one of the n+1n+1 points and the two segments that define it are of different colours. Show that there is always a way to colour the segments that makes more than n⌊nk⌋2k(k−1)2n \Big\lfloor{\frac{n}{k}}\Big\rfloor^2 \frac{k(k-1)}{2} bicolour angles.
