There are \(100\) people standing in line, and one of them is Arthur. Everyone in the line is either a knight, who always tells the truth, or a liar who always lies. Everyone except Arthur said, "There are exactly two liars between Arthur and me." How many liars are there in this line, if it is known that Arthur is a knight?

A parliament has 650 members. In this parliament there is only one house and every member has at most three enemies. We wish to split this parliament into two separate houses in such a way that each member will have at most one enemy in the same house as them. We assume that hard feelings among members of parliament are mutual, namely if \(A\) recognises \(B\) as their enemy, then \(B\) also recognises \(A\) as their enemy.

Is this splitting possible?
