Let kk and nn be integers with 0≤k≤n−20 \leq k \leq n-2. Consider a set LL of nn lines in the plane such that no two of them are parallel and no three have a common point. Denote by II the set of intersection points of lines in LL. Let OO be a point in the plane not lying on any line of LL. A point X∈IX \in I is colored red if the open line segment OXO X intersects at most kk lines in LL. Prove that II contains at least 12(k+1)(k+2)\frac{1}{2}(k+1)(k+2) red points.
