NL-NWO 1972 Problem 4

    On a circle with radius 11 the points A1,A2,...,AnA_1, A_2,..., A_n lie such that every arc AiAi+iA_iA_{i+i} has length 2πn=a\frac{2\pi}{n}= a . Given that there exists a set VV consisting of kk of these points ( k<nk < n ), which has the property that each of the arc lengths aa , 2a2a ,...,... , (n−1)a(n- 1)a can be obtained in exactly one way be taken as the length of an arc traversed in a positive sense, beginning and ending in a point of VV . Express nn in terms of kk and give the set VV for the case n=7n = 7 .
