Let SS be a set of 1980 points in the plane such that the distance between every pair of them is at least 1. Prove that SS has a subset of 220 points such that the distance between every pair of them is at least 3.\sqrt{3}.

Problem 9

Let ABAB be a diameter of a circle; let t1t_1 and t2t_2 be the tangents at AA and BB, respectively; let CC be any point other than AA on t1t_1; and let D1D2.E1E2D_1D_2. E_1E_2 be arcs on the circle determined by two lines through CC. Prove that the lines AD1AD_1 and AD2AD_2 determine a segment on t2t_2 equal in length to that of the segment on t2t_2 determined by AE1AE_1 and AE2.AE_2.
