US-TST 2024 Problem 4

  • Answer

Find all integers n≥2n\geq 2 for which there exists a sequence of 2n2n pairwise distinct points (P1,…,Pn,Q1,…,Qn)(P_{1},\ldots ,P_{n},Q_{1},\ldots ,Q_{n}) in the plane satisfying the following four conditions:

(i) no three of the 2n2n points are collinear;

(ii) PiPi+1≥1P_{i}P_{i + 1}\geq 1 for all i=1,2,…,ni = 1,2,\ldots ,n , where Pn+1=P1P_{n + 1} = P_{1}

(iii) QiQi+1≥1Q_{i}Q_{i + 1}\geq 1 for all i=1,2,…,ni = 1,2,\ldots ,n , where Qn+1=Q1Q_{n + 1} = Q_{1} ; and

(iv) PiQj≤1P_{i}Q_{j}\leq 1 for all i=1,2,…,ni = 1,2,\ldots ,n and j=1,2,…,nj = 1,2,\ldots ,n
