let's start warming up with a problem in combinatorics Basketball you can find the question (level: undergraduate) in the following link
http://uploading.com/files/98f131f9/Combinatorics.pdf/

I'll post the solution next week. At the moment no prize, I should evaluate you at first then you will see how much I am generous Very Happy .

Hey Mohammad! The link doesn't work pale You have to link directly to the PDF file!

Hello Mohammad Very Happy

Now the link works. And here is my solution! king

If you have a combinatorial proof I'd love to see it. I tried going down that path at first but it did not seem like the best plan.

Well done, your proof is the same I had in my mind. bounce
Now I should be careful who I am talking to Very Happy

Thanks! I don't know if there is another good way to do it. This seems like the only straightforward solution.

It's funny because last night I was trying all sorts of stupid things for about thirty minutes (even induction! Embarassed) , then I got discouraged and I went to take a nap before going to a party. I woke up thirty minutes later and my first thought was "Chebyshev inequality", and I was so certain it would work that I didn't even check until this morning! scratch
