Problem Statement

A simple polygon in the plane is a figure bounded by a closed nonself-intersecting broken line.
(a) Do there exist two congruent simple 77-gons in the plane such that all the seven vertices of one of the 77-gons are the vertices of the other one and yet these two 77-gons have no common sides?
(b) Do there exist three such 77-gons?
