On the sides \(AB\), \(BC\) and \(AC\) of the triangle \(ABC\) points \(P\), \(M\) and \(K\) are chosen so that the segments \(AM\), \(BK\) and \(CP\) intersect at one point and \[\vec{AM} + \vec{BK}+\vec{CP} = 0\] Prove that \(P\), \(M\) and \(K\) are the midpoints of the sides of the triangle \(ABC\).

Two lines on the plane intersect at an angle \(\alpha\). On one of them there is a flea. Every second it jumps from one line to the other (the point of intersection is considered to belong to both straight lines). It is known that the length of each of her jumps is 1 and that she never returns to the place where she was a second ago. After some time, the flea returned to its original point. Prove that for the angle \(\alpha\) the value \(\alpha/\pi\) is a rational number.
