In the center of the square of side $1$ shown in the figure is an ant. At one point the ant starts walking until it touches the left side $(a)$, then continues walking until it reaches the bottom side $(b)$, and finally returns to the starting point. Show that, regardless of the path followed by the ant, the distance it travels is greater than the square root of $2$.

In a country, some pairs of cities are connected by one-way roads. It turns out that every city has at least two out-going and two in-coming roads assigned to it, and from every city one can travel to any other city by a sequence of roads. Prove that it is possible to delete a cyclic route so that it is still possible to travel from any city to any other city.
