ILL 1985 Problem 41

    A set of 19851985 points is distributed around the circumference of a circle and each of the points is marked with 11 or −1-1. A point is called "good" if the partial sums that can be formed by starting at that point and proceeding around the circle for any distance in either direction are all strictly positive. Show that if the number of points marked with −1-1 is less than 662662, there must be at least one good point.
