VN-TST 1998 Problem 6

  • Day 2

In a conference there are n≥10n \geq 10 people. It is known that:

I. Each person knows at least [n+23]\left[\frac{n+2}{3}\right] other people. II. For each pair of person AA and BB who don't know each other, there exist some people A(1),A(2),…,A(k)A(1), A(2), \ldots, A(k) such that AA knows A(1)A(1) , A(i)A(i) knows A(i+1)A(i+1) and A(k)A(k) knows BB . III. There doesn't exist a Hamilton path.

Prove that: We can divide those people into 2 groups: AA group has a Hamilton cycle, and the other contains of people who don't know each other.
