  • Paper B

Find the smallest positive real number rr with the following property: For every choice of 2023 unit vectors v1,v2,…,v2023∈R2v_1, v_2, \ldots, v_{2023} \in \mathbb{R}^2, a point pp can be found in the plane such that for each subset SS of {1,2,…,2023}\{1, 2, \ldots, 2023\}, the sum

∑i∈Svi\sum_{i \in S} v_i

lies inside the disc {x∈R2:∣∣x−p∣∣≤r}\{x \in \mathbb{R}^2 : ||x - p|| \leq r\}.
