Hi, The proof given by Vishal is correct irrespective of the arrangement (which he himself did not realize). If you see carefully his proof does not assume anything about "sections colored continuously". His proof assumes only one thing "Half of them are red and half of them are white" Half does not mean it should be continuous. So the proof still works correct unmodified even if the "halves" are not continuous.
