On a problem of Steinhaus about polygons
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Extract
We solve a problem of Steinhaus (New Scottish Book, Problem 328; also Colloq. Math. 5 (1958), Problem 225); if p is a prime, does there exist a regular p-gon such that three of its diagonals cut in a point? The answer is in the negative, except in the case where the said diagonals are all parallel, which can clearly occur for any p ≥ 7.
