In the country Máxico are two islands, the island "Mayor" and island "Menor". The island "Mayor" has $k>3$ states, with exactly $n>3$ cities each one. The island "Menor" has only one state with $31$ cities. "Aeropapantla" and "Aerocenzontle" are the airlines that offer flights in Máxico. "Aeropapantla" offer direct flights from every city in Máxico to any other city in Máxico. "Aerocenzontle" only offers direct flights from every city of the island "Mayor" to any other city of the island "Mayor".
