Let n6n \geq 6 and 3p<np3 \leq p < n - p be two integers. The vertices of a regular nn-gon are colored so that pp vertices are red and the others are black. Prove that there exist two congruent polygons with at least [p/2]+1[p/2] + 1 vertices, one with all the vertices red and the other with all the vertices black.
