At one point the ant starts walking until it touches the left side $(a)$, then continues walking until it reaches the bottom side $(b)$, and finally returns to the starting point.

There are two cards labeled $1$, two labeled $2$, two labeled $3$, etc. A certain math class has $13$ students. Each day, the teacher thoroughly shuffles a half deck of cards and deals out two cards to each student. Each student then adds the two numbers on the cards received, and the resulting $13$ sums are multiplied together to form a product $P$. If $P$ is an even number, the class must do math homework that evening. Show that the class always must do math homework.
