  • Day 1

Let n≥3n\ge 3 be an integer. In a country there are nn airports and nn airlines operating two-way flights. For each airline, there is an odd integer m≥3m\ge 3 , and mm distinct airports c1,…,cmc_1, \dots, c_m , where the flights offered by the airline are exactly those between the following pairs of airports: c1c_1 and c2c_2 ; c2c_2 and c3c_3 ; …\dots ; cm−1c_{m-1} and cmc_m ; cmc_m and c1c_1 .

Prove that there is a closed route consisting of an odd number of flights where no two flights are operated by the same airline.
