Noah has to fit 8 species of animals into 4 cages of the Arc. He planes to put two species of animal in each cage. It turns out that, for each species of animal, there are at most 3 other species with which it cannot share a cage. Prove that there is a way to assign the animals to the cages so that each species shares a cage with a compatible species.
Anna took a number \(N\), which is written in base 10 and has fewer than 9 digits, and duplicated it by writing another \(N\) to its left, creating a new number with twice as many digits. Bob computed the sum of all integers from 1 to \(N\). It turned out that Anna's new number is 7 times as large as the sum computed by Bob. Determine \(N\).
