RIOPLATENSE 1999 Problem 6

At a big New Year's Eve party, each guest receives two hats: one red and one blue. At the beginning of the party, all the guests put on the red hat. Several times throughout the evening, the announcer announces the name of one of the guests and, at that moment, the named and each of his friends change the hat they are wearing for the other color. Show that the announcer can make it so that all the guests are wearing the blue hat when the party is over.

Note: All guests remain at the party from start to finish.
