Noah has 8 species of animals to fit into 4 cages of the ark. He plans to put species in each cage. It turns out that, for each species, there are at most 3 other species with which it cannot share the accomodation. Prove that there is a way to assign the animals to their cages so that each species shares with compatible species.
