Dec 14, 2013 at 20:18 comment added Sergei Ivanov Thanks, now I understand. Indeed the Euclidean intuition fails.
Dec 14, 2013 at 2:48 comment added Anton Petrunin @SergeiIvanov, I extended the hint; now it is called "semisolution". I hope it helps.

Dec 13, 2013 at 17:49 comment added Sergei Ivanov @Anton, I don't get it. In any manifold, take a point $p$ and a nearby small ball $B$, and connect $p$ to all points of $B$ by geodesic segments. I believe the resulting set is convex if everything is small enough, yet the conical part of the boundary is filled by geodesics.

Dec 12, 2009 at 6:34 comment added Suresh Venkat this is very helpful. However, there are some things that I'm not entirely clear about. * I'm not sure why in your statement about generic 3D manifolds, the geodesic has to be in the ambient space ? * I don't see why this implies the result (I'm not doubting: merely not following)
