Problem Statement
We are given a set , where are nonzero complex numbers (also viewed as nonzero vectors in the plane). Prove that we can divide into some groups such that the following conditions are satisfied:
(1) Each element in belongs and only belongs to one group;
(2) For any group , if we use to denote the sum of all memebers in , then for any memeber of , the angle between and does not exceed ;
(3) For any two groups and , the angle between and exceeds (use the notation introduced in (2)).
