Consider any set of $7$ unique positive integers. Prove that there's alway a way to pick a pair where either the difference or the sum of the pair is a multiple of $10$.
I know this is a trivial problem but it's driving me nuts. For some reason I can't find the right approach.
I've tried to consider all $\binom{7}{2} = 21$ possible pairs, and tried fitting them into $mod\space 10$ integer spaces. By the pigeon hole principle, there will be at least a set of $3$'s such that all three pair have the same congruence mod $10$. But I'm not sure how to proceed from that point, or if I'm on the right path.
If two of these 7 numbers, say $p$ and $q$, leave the same remainder, when divided by 10, then $p-q$ is divisible by 10.
If all 7 leave the 7 different remainders, when divided by 10, then at least 5 of their remainders are non-zero and different from 5, and hence are 5 different members of $$ 1, 9,\,\,\,\, 2,8,\,\,\,\, 3,7,\,\,\,\,4,6 $$ Apparently, since they are five different ones, they occupy at least one of the four pairs above - each of these pairs has sum 10.
