Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
If you randomly select 7 integers from the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}, can you guarantee at least one sum of 9? Justify your answer using the pigeonhole principle.
💡 Hint: Refer back to the pairs you have established.
If a new integer 9 was added to the set, how would that change the original proof regarding sums to 9? Discuss and reason.
💡 Hint: Think about how to create new pairs with the existing numbers.
