Sorry, the solution is available only in Hungarian. Google translation

Megoldás. Minden páratlan számot összekötünk először a nála nagyobb, majd azután a nála kisebb páros számokkal is. Más vonalat nem húzunk be. 1-től 100-ig 50 páratlan szám van és 50 páros, így \(\displaystyle 50\cdot50=2500\) vonalat húzunk be.
