Problem Statement

Let \mathcal{H} \equal{} A_1A_2\ldots A_n be a convex n n-gon. For i \equal{} 1, 2, \ldots, n, let Ai A'_{i} be the point symmetric to Ai A_i with respect to the midpoint of A_{i \minus{} 1}A_{i \plus{} 1} (where A_{n \plus{} 1} \equal{} A_1). We say that the vertex Ai A_i is good if Ai A'_{i} lies inside H \mathcal{H}. Show that at least n \minus{} 3 vertices of H \mathcal{H} are good.
