Question 58

A certain number of open segments are placed in the plane, none of them parallel to the $x$ or $y$ axes. These segments are pairwise disjoint. Thanima starts moving from $(0,0)$ parallel to the $x$-axis. Each time she meets a wall, she turns by 90 degrees and keeps moving without crossing the wall.

Prove that it is impossible for Thanima to visit both sides of every wall.
