Nikolai Chukhin · Alexander S. Kulikov

Problem. Below is a group of eight people. People who know each other are connected by an edge. Find the size of the largest subgroup in which everyone knows each other. And conversely: find the size of the largest subgroup in which no two people know each other. Formally, find the maximum clique size and the maximum independent set size. Try it! Enter the two numbers separated by a space.
