The segments BE and CF are altitudes of the
acute triangle ABC, where E and F are points on the
segments AC anbd AB, resp[ectively. ABC is
inscribed in the circle Q with centre O. Denote the
orthocentre of ABC be H, and the midpoints of BC and
AH be M and K, respectively. Let ÐCAB = 45°.

Each of the edges of a cube is 1 unit in length,
and is divided by two points into three equal parts.
Denote by K the solid with vertices at these points.

connected by a segment. Some of the segments are
coloured. Prove that it is always possible to find
two vertices which are endpoints of the same number
of coloured segments.
