Let $a_1, a_2, \ldots , a_{11}$ be 11 pairwise distinct positive integer with sum less than 2007. Let S be the sequence of $1,2, \ldots ,2007$. Define an [b]operation[/b] to be 22 consecutive applications of the following steps on the sequence $S$: on $i$-th step, choose a number from the sequense $S$ at random, say $x$. If $1 \leq i \leq 11$, replace $x$ with $x+a_i$ ; if $12 \leq i \leq 22$, replace $x$ with $x-a_{i-11}$ . If the result of [b]operation[/b] on the sequence $S$ is an odd permutation of $\{1, 2, \ldots , 2007\}$, it is an [b]odd operation[/b]; if the result of [b]operation[/b] on the sequence $S$ is an even permutation of $\{1, 2, \ldots , 2007\}$, it is an [b]even operation[/b]. Which is larger, the number of odd operation or the number of even permutation? And by how many?
Here $\{x_1, x_2, \ldots , x_{2007}\}$ is an even permutation of $\{1, 2, \ldots ,2007\}$ if the product $\prod_{i > j} (x_i - x_j)$ is positive, and an odd one otherwise.

Eminem is trying to find the real Slim Shady in a row of $2025$ indistinguishable Slim Shady clones, one of which is the real Slim Shady. Eminem randomly guesses, and if he guesses wrong, a new clone joins the row and all the clones randomly rearrange themselves. He keeps guessing as more identical clones are added, trying to find the real Slim Shady. Find the probability that he will eventually find him within $15$ guesses.

Each edge of a complete graph on $30$ vertices is coloured either red or blue. It is allowed to choose a non-monochromatic triangle and change the colour of the two edges of the same colour to make the triangle monochromatic.
Prove that by using this operation repeatedly it is possible to make the entire graph monochromatic.
(A complete graph is a graph where any two vertices are connected by an edge.)
