Problem 3. Teaching (8 points) The year is 2008 and you are reviewing the course schedule for next semester. There are 107 computer science students and each class is taken by exactly 25 students. Students are divided by the popular (yet likely terrible - never saw it myself) Twilight film, with 58 students being on "Team Jacob" (a werewolf), 42 students being on "Team Edward" (a vampire), and the remaining 7 students not caring one way or the other.
