Pigeonhole principle

In mathematics, the pigeonhole principle states that if $n$ items are put into $m$ containers, with $n > m$ , then at least one container must contain more than one item. This theorem is exemplified in real life by truisms like "there must be at least two left gloves or two right gloves in a group of three gloves". It is an example of a counting argument, and despite seeming intuitive it can be used to demonstrate possibly unexpected results; for example, that two people in London have the same number of hairs on their heads (see below).
