Show that for any given 52 integers, there exist two of them whose sum, or else whose difference, is divisible by 100.

 

Proof:

 

Let be a selected 52 integers.  Present each or   where.  If the ordinal remainder exceeds 50 then increase quotient by 1 to make remainder.  For example:  if 75 in A, then 75=100*2-25, instead of 75=100*1+75; however, if 125 is in A, then 125=100*1+25. 

Let.  Set B contains 52 remainders between 0 and 50.  By Pigeonhole principle, there are at least two remainders for.  The corresponding two numbers could be one of the following  and .  Therefore, one of the must be divisible by 100.
