The problem:

Let S be a finite set of at least two points in the plane. Assume that no three points of S are collinear. By a windmill we mean a process as follows. Start with a line l going through a point P ∈ S. Rotate l clockwise around the pivot P until the line contains another point Q of S. The point Q now takes over as the new pivot. This process continues indefinitely, with the pivot always being a point from S.

Show that for a suitable P ∈ S and a suitable starting line l containing P, the resulting windmill will visit each point of S as a pivot infinitely often.
