Given 3n3n cards, each of them will be written with a number from the following sequence: 2,3,...,n,n+1,n+3,n+4,...,2n+1,2n+2,2n+4,...,3n+32, 3, ..., n, n + 1, n + 3, n + 4, ..., 2n + 1, 2n + 2, 2n + 4, ..., 3n + 3 with each number used exactly once. Then every card is arranged from left to right in random order. Determine the probability such that for every ii with 1i3n1\le i \le 3n, the number written on the ii-th card, counted from the left, is greater than or equal to ii.

300300 parliament members are divided into 33 chambers, each chamber consists of 100100 members. For every 22 members, they either know each other or are strangers to each other.Show that no matter how they are divided into these 33 chambers, it is always possible to choose 22 members, each from different chamber such that there exist 1717 members from the third chamber so that all of them knows these two members, or all of them are strangers to these two members.
