There were finitely many persons at a party among whom some were friends. Among any $4$ of them there were either $3$ who were all friends among each other or $3$ who weren't friend with each other. Prove that you can separate all the people at the party in two groups in such a way that in the first group everyone is friends with each other and that all the people in the second group are not friends to anyone else in second group. (Friendship is a mutual relation).
