Problem Statement

Let A(XYZ)A(XYZ) be the area of the triangle XYZXYZ. A non-regular convex polygon P1P2PnP_1 P_2 \ldots P_n is called guayaco if exists a point OO in its interior such that A(P1OP2)=A(P2OP3)==A(PnOP1).A(P_1OP_2) = A(P_2OP_3) = \cdots = A(P_nOP_1). Show that, for every integer n3n \ge 3, a guayaco polygon of nn sides exists.
