In neverland, there are $n$ cities and $n$ airlines. Each airline serves an odd number of cities in a circular way, that is, if it serves cities $c_1,c_2,\dots,c_{2k+1}$, then they fly planes connecting $c_1c_2,c_2c_3,\dots,c_1c_{2k+1}$. Show that we can select an odd number of cities $d_1,d_2,\dots,d_{2m+1}$ such that we can fly $d_1\rightarrow d_2\rightarrow\dots\rightarrow d_{2m+1}\rightarrow d_1$ while using each airline at most once.

Circle $\omega_1$ of radius $1$ and circle $\omega_2$ of radius $2$ are concentric. Godzilla inscribes square $CASH$ in $\omega_1$ and regular pentagon $MONEY$ in $\omega_2$.
