 +Let $d(n)$ be the smallest number such that among any $d(n)$ points inside a regular $n$-gon with side of length 1
 +there are two points whose distance from each other is at most 1. Prove that
 +
 +(a) $d(n)=n$ for $4\leq n\leq 6$.
 +
 +(b) $\displaystyle \lim_{n\to \infty} \frac{d(n)}{n}=\infty $.
