Problem Statement
There are two countries and , where each countries have airports. There are some two-way flights among airports of and , so that each airport has exactly flights. There might be multiple flights among two airports; and there are no flights among airports of the same country. A travel agency wants to plan an exotic traveling course which travels through all airports exactly once, and returns to the initial airport. If denotes the number of all exotic traveling courses, then prove that is an even integer.(Here, note that two exotic traveling courses are different if their starting place are different.)
