| 4. A graph has n > 2 points. Show that we can find two points A and B such that at least [n/2] - 1 of the remaining points are joined to either both or neither of A and B. |

| 5. 0 < a1 ≤ a2 ≤ a3 ≤ ... is an unbounded sequence of integers. Let bn = m if am is the first member of the sequence to equal or exceed n. Given that a19 = 85, what is the maximum possible value of a1 + a2 + ... + a19 + b1 + b2 + ... + b85? |
