Theorem
Let there be a group of $6$ people.
The traditional setting is that these $6$ people are at a party.
Then (at least) one of the following $2$ statements is true:
- $(1): \quad$ At least $3$ of these $6$ people have all met each other before
- $(2): \quad$ At least $3$ of these $6$ people have never met each other before.
That is, either there exists a set of $3$ mutual acquaintances, or there exists a set of $3$ mutual strangers.
Proof
This is a simple example of Ramsey's Theorem.
