Yes. If we represent people with vertices and acquaintances with edges, we obtain a simple graph: no person is counted as being ``acquainted with themselves'' but only with others, so there are no self-loops; and if two people are acquainted, then only one edge is enough to represent this (it is only counted once), so there are no parallel edges.

By Exercise 21 part (c), it is impossible for all vertices in a simple graph to have different degrees. Therefore there are at least two people who are acquainted with t he same number of people within the group.

A (general) bipartite graph G is a simple graph whose vertex set can be partitioned into two disjoint nonempty subsets $V_1$ and $V_2$ such that vertices in $V_1$ may be connected to vertices in $V_2$, but no vertices in $V_1$ are connected to other vertices in $V_1$ and no vertices in $V_2$ are connected to other vertices in $V_2$. For example, the bipartite graph $G$ illustrated in (i) can be redrawn as shown in (ii). From the drawing in (ii), you can see that $G$ is bipartite with mutually disjoint vertex sets $V_1 = \{v_1, v_3, v_5\}$ and $V_2 = \{v_2, v_4, v_6\}$.

Suppose this graph is a bipartite. Then the vertex set can be partitioned into two mutually disjoint subsets such that vertices in each subset are connected by edges only to vertices in the other subset and not to vertices in the same subset. Now $v_1$ is in one subset of the partition, say, $V_1$. Since $v_1$ is connected by edges to $v_2$ and $v_3$ both $v_2$ and $v_3$ must be in the other subset, $V_2$. But $v_2$ and $v_3$ are connected by an edge to each other. This contradicts the fact that no vertices in $V_2$ are connected by edges to other vertices in $V_2$. Hence the supposition is false, and so the graph is not bipartite.

This graph is not bipartite due to the triangle formed by $v_2, v_4, v_5$. Argue by contradiction and assume it is bipartite, with disjoint vertex sets $V_1, V_2$. Then either $v_2 \in V_1$ or $v_2 \in V_2$. If $v_2 \in V_1$, then since $v_2$ is connected to both $v_4$ and $v_5$, we must have $v_4 \in V_2$ and $v_5 \in V_2$. But $v_4$ and $v_5$ are also connected, contradicting the definition of bipartite. Similarly if $v_2 \in V_2$ then $v_4 \in V_1$ and $v_5 \in V_1$ and we get a similar contradiction. Therefore the graph is not bipartite.

we must have $v_4 \in V_2$ and $v_5 \in V_2$.

But $v_4$ and $v_5$ are also connected, contradicting the definition of bipartite.

Similarly if $v_2 \in V_2$ then $v_4 \in V_1$ and $v_5 \in V_1$ and

When $n$ is an integral power of 2, $g_n$ is the exponent of that power. For instance, $8 = 2^3$ and $g_8 = 3$. More generally, if $n = 2k$, where $k$ is an integer, then $g_n = k$. All terms of the sequence from $g_{2^k}$ up to, but not including, $g_{2^{k+1}}$ have the same value, namely $k$. For instance, all terms of the sequence from $g_8$ through $g_{15}$ have the value 3.
