OIM 2004 Problem 6

    Given a set H\mathcal{H} of points in the plane, PP is called an "intersection point of H\mathcal{H} " if distinct points A,B,C,DA,B,C,D exist in H\mathcal{H} such that lines ABAB and CDCD are distinct and intersect in PP . Given a finite set A0\mathcal{A}_{0} of points in the plane, a sequence of sets is defined as follows: for any j≥0j\geq0 , Aj+1\mathcal{A}_{j+1} is the union of Aj\mathcal{A}_{j} and the intersection points of Aj\mathcal{A}_{j} . Prove that, if the union of all the sets in the sequence is finite, then Ai=A1\mathcal{A}_{i}=\mathcal{A}_{1} for any i≥1i\geq1 .
