Problem Statement

There are 2000 2000 people, and some of them have called each other. Two people can call each other at most 11 time. For any two groups of three people A A and B B which AB= A \cap B = \emptyset , there exist one person from each of AA and BB that haven't called each other. Prove that the number of two people called each other is less than 201000 201000 .
