    The friends one still works if you allow people to have 0 friends. Then people can have {0, ..., n-1} friends. From here, either two people have the same number of friends (so the proof is done), or each person has a different number, which means there is one person in each box. However, this is a contradiction, because it says that one person has 0 friends and one has n-1 (the maximum number, since you can't be friends with yourself). It's impossible to have one friendless person and one who is friends with everybody, so either there is nobody in the friendless box or there is nobody in the n-1 box. Either way, there are now n-1 total boxes for n people, so two people must share a box.

    @TheTrevTutor In the last example, the pigeonhole isn't anywhere in the 2x2 squares but the holes are just one of the opposite diagonal points on the 2x2 square. So essentially, we have 13 pockets or pigeonholes and we just require 14 dots to violate the sqrt(8) distance rule.

If a natural number, then there are two distinct natural numbers k, l such that a^k - a^l is divisible by 10. I am thinking of finding a function that maps N into set of possible remainders {0, 1, 2,...9} as f(n) = (a^n)/10...am I on the right track?

    the problem with the last example is this: we are trying to fit round pegs in square holes. The vertical and horizontal distance between dots is 2, not 2*sqrt(2). We need to fill the grid with circles whose origins are contained within the grid and along the edges of the other circles. This problem, I believe, is much more complex than is supposed in the video. I love your video series!!

  • @aldolunabueno2634
    @aldolunabueno26344 жыл бұрын

    I think the last question is wrong because you're puting the dots in the grid with each cell of size 2 by 2cm. You will get dots separeted by 2cm, less than 2*sqrt(2). I have other approche. Insted of dots, put circles of radius sqrt(2), and expand your 8x8 square to an square of side (8+2*sqrt(2). If you can put 17 circles in this square but no more than that, you are done. But I think it's not posible. I was only able to put 13 circles. The problem is really more complex than you think.

    it comes down to 10,9,8,and 7 all needing at least one number less than 5 next to them without being within 2 of each other for at least 3 of them.

    Hi, can you help me with this question? I just don't get why is PHP so directed by us. As in for the following question, i just purposely arrange the set to have number divisible by 11. instead of randomly arrange into {1,7} but {1,12}. Thank you! Prove that, given any 12 natural numbers, we can choose two of them such that their difference is divisible by 11. A proof requires a general, algebraic argument; not just an example. Hint: Consider the remainders mod 11. So i did, {1,12}, {2,11}, {3,10}, {4,9}, {5,8} and {6,7}. but what if i just arrange them to be {1,7}, (2,6} and so on. Your advise is appreciated!

    ding siew yap You can arrange them like that, but then it wouldn't capture the idea of the proof. In your question, you want to prove that the difference between two randomly chosen numbers is 11. So instead of "arranging numbers to be convenient", we can think more abstractly and say "what possible remainders mod 11 can we have?". Then you see you can have 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, totalling to 11 different choices. These 11 choices come from the difference of two numbers mod 11. When you arrange these numbers now, you have to take in this consideration so you can arrange them in a way that's convenient and helps you. If you arrange them otherwise, then it becomes more difficult to prove and you'll need a new method. In reality, it doesn't matter how you pair these numbers. But, if you pair them another way, then the proof is not clear at all.

    Thank you so much for your explanation, i have solved the question using n1 = q1 x 11 +r , n2=q2x11+r method, and i got n1-n2=11(q1-q2) hence at least 2 of the numbers have a difference which is divisible by 11. Appreciate you prompt reply, really hepful!:)

    make sets of 3 consecutive numbers such as ....label the chairs as 1,2,3.....12 and make sets like {1,2,3} , {2,3,4} ,{3,4,5}........{10,11,12}......You'll get exactly 10 sets and you have 9 pigeonholes with 10 pigeons ....so you get your answer as 2 by dividing that...hope this helps

    (5 choose 2) = ?? You have 25 people, so take the ceiling of 25/(5 choose 2), since there are only (5 choose 2) ways to pick 2 tasks, then you're assigning 25 people overall to each of those.

    I don’t get it. Each person can have up to (n-1) friends, but we don’t have a choice of n, unless we’re considering that the person can be his own friend. So isn’t it (n-1) people to be fitted in (n-1) containers?

    In picking 11 numbers question, I got confused on the question. I understood that we are picking 10 numbers from 1 to 10. So, the last number must be seleceted from 11 to 20. It is OK. So, let's say, we picked 14 as a last number. Also, if we choose 7 and 14, the sum is 21. But, we can choose 2 and 14. And their sum is 16. So, not 21. I mean, there is not guarante that the sum is always 21. Maybe, I did not understand question clearly. But if you help me about this, everything will be clear for me..

    basically, in the numbers 1 to 20, you have only 10 sums using 2 distinct numbers, that add up to 21. picking 1 number from each of these sums, isn't enough to pick 11 numbers. Therefore picking both numbers from at least 1 of the sums that sum to 21 is forced.
