Suppose that $a_{ij}$ are real numbers in such a way that for each $i$, the series $\sum_{j=1}^{\infty}a_{ij}$ is absolutely convergent. In fact we have a series of absolutely convergent serieses. Also we know that for each bounded sequence $\{b_j\}_j$ we have $\lim_{i\to \infty} \sum_{j=1}^{\infty}a_{ij}b_j=0$. Prove that $\lim_{i\to \infty}\sum_{j=1}^{\infty}|a_{ij}|=0$.

Ten million fireflies are glowing in $\mathbb{R}^3$ at midnight. Some of the fireflies are friends, and friendship is always mutual. Every second, one firefly moves to a new position so that its distance from each one of its friends is the same as it was before moving. This is the only way that the fireflies ever change their positions. No two fireflies may ever occupy the same point. Initially, no two fireflies, friends or not, are more than a meter away. Following some finite number of seconds, all fireflies find themselves at least ten million meters away from their original positions. Given this information, find the greatest possible number of friendships between the fireflies. [i]Nikolai Beluhov[/i]
