To maintain the feeling that the world is big and wide, you don’t want to travel in big groups,
nor keep running into each other while you’re travelling.
You’ve decided to stay spread out with the following rule: on any particular day, if region
A is labelled with the number x and region B is labelled with the number y, then at most
min(x, y) people can travel from A to B, and at most min(x, y) can travel from B to A. (You
can assume movements are synchronous.)
The first few days may be a little chaotic, but then things should stabilize for a while, with
the same number of people leaving each region as entering, until the last people are leaving
Dal and eventually making their way to Eastern Europe. During this intermediate period of
stability, how many people are leaving Dal each day (or, equivalently, how many are arriving
in Eastern Europe)?
