Word problem (airports)

1998 airports are each connected in both directions to exactly three other airports. Any airport can be reached from any other airport by a sequence of flights. It is decided to close down 200 of the airports, no two of which are connected by a single flight. Show that this can be done in such a way that any remaining airport ca ...continues

Lines through non-collinear points

Given three points, there is one line that can be drawn through them if the points are collinear. If the three points are noncollinear,there are three lines that can be drawn through pairs of points. For three points, three is the greatest number of lines that can be drawn through pairs of points. Determine the greatest number o ...continues
