There are \(5\) directors of \(5\) banks sitting at the round table. Some of these banks have a negative balance (they owe more money that they have) and some have a positive balance (they have more money that they owe). It is known that for any 3 directors sitting next to each otehr, their 3 banks together have a positive balance. Does it mean that the \(5\) banks together have a positive balance?
