Geometry Difficulty 5.4 AIME, harder Prove it

79. (YUG 3) Let SS be a unit circle and KK a subset of SS consisting of several closed arcs. Let KK satisfy the following properties:
(i) KK contains three points A,B,CA, B, C, that are the vertices of an acuteangled triangle;
(ii) for every point AA that belongs to KK its diametrically opposite point AA^{\prime} and all points BB on an arc of length 1/91 / 9 with center AA^{\prime} do not belong to KK.
Prove that there are three points E,F,GE, F, G on SS that are vertices of an equilateral triangle and that do not belong to KK.
