Is it possible that each girl can always get to dance the next dance with either a more handsome or more clever boy than for the previous dance, and that each time at least $80\%$ of the girls get to dance the next dance with a boy who is more handsome and more clever? (The numbers of boys and girls are equal and all are dancing.) (AY Belov)

Suppose that $P_c(z)=z^2+c$. You are familiar with the Mandelbrot set: $M=\{c\in \mathbb{C} | \lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}P_c^n(0)\neq \infty\}$. We know that if $c\in M$ then the points of the dynamical system $(\mathbb{C},P_c)$ that don't converge to $\infty$ are connected and otherwise they are completely disconnected. By seeing the properties of periodic points of $P_c$ prove the following ones: a) Prove the existance of the heart like shape in the Mandelbrot set. b) Prove the existance of the large circle next to the heart like shape in the Mandelbrot set.
