Problem Statement

At Port Aventura there are 1616 secret agents, each of whom is watching one or more other agents. It is known that if agent AA is watching agent BB, then BB is not watching AA. Moreover, any 1010 agents can be ordered so that the first is watching the second, the second is watching the third, etc, the last is watching the first. Show that any 1111 agents can also be so ordered.
