Each point of the plane is colored either red or blue. Show that there exists a triangle with side lengths , , , and its three vertices are of the same color.
Solution
Assume on the contrary that there is a coloring for which any triangle with side lengths , , has at least one red vertex and one blue vertex. Consider an equilateral triangle with side length .

There are at least two vertices among , , with the same color, let them be , with red color.
Let , be the midpoints of , , respectively, and let , be their reflections with respect to the line . The triangles , , , all have side lengths , , , and so the vertices , , , are of blue color. However, the triangle has side lengths , , but all of its vertices are of blue color, which is a contradiction.
