Problem: If all edges of Kn (a complete graph) have been coloured red and blue, how do we show that either the red graph or the blue graph is connected?

Solution:
I thought induction was the best way to do this one.

I used LaTeX to generate a PDF file. Please see attachment.

Proposition. If Kn, the complete graph on n vertices, is colored in such away that every edge is either red or blue, then either the red component or the blue ...
