Problem Statement

Suppose that to every point of the plane a colour, either red or blue, is associated.
(a) Show that if there is no equilateral triangle with all vertices of the same colour then there must exist three points A,BA,B and CC of the same colour such that BB is the midpoint of ACAC.
(b) Show that there must be an equilateral triangle with all vertices of the same colour.
