Let be a structure formed by $ n\ge 4 $ points in space, four by four noncoplanar, and two by two connected by a wire. If we cut the $ n-1 $ wires that connect a point to the others, the remaining point is said to be [i]isolated.[/i] The structure is said to be [i]disconnected[/i] if there are at least two points for which there isn´t a chain of wires connecting them. So, initially, it´s not disconnected. $ \text{(1)} $ Prove that, by cutting a number smaller or equal with $ n-2, $ the structure won´t become disconnected. $ \text{(2)} $ Determine the minimum number of wires that needs to be cut so that the remaining structure is disconnected, yet every point, not isloated.

A sentence of the following type if often heard in Hungarian weather reports: "Last night's minimum temperatures took all values between $ \minus{}3$ degrees and $ \plus{}5$ degrees." Show that it would suffice to say, "Both $ \minus{}3$ degrees and $ \plus{}5$ degrees occurred among last night's minimum temperatures." (Assume that temperature as a two-variable function of place and time is continuous.) [i]A.Csaszar[/i]
