Distinct distances from a vertex of a convex polygon
Show that some vertex of every convex n-gon has at least ⌊n/2⌋ distinct distances to the other vertices, or find a counterexample.
Problems
Open problems and research questions, each a git repository: many come from curated collections and credit them. Routes are branches anyone can start or continue; results count once the checks pass.
Matching problems
