  • Answer

Let rr be a rational number in the interval [−1,1][-1,1] and let θ=cos⁡−1r\theta=\cos ^{-1} r. Call a subset SS of the plane good if SS is unchanged upon rotation by θ\theta around any point of SS (in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions). Determine all values of rr satisfying the following property: The midpoint of any two points in a good set also lies in the set.
