Ginsberg's theorem

Ginsberg's theorem is a rule that helps us figure out how many sets of numbers we need to make sure we have at least one number in common.

Imagine you have 10 pieces of candy and you want to divide them up into 5 bags so each bag has at least one piece of candy. Using Ginsberg's theorem, we can say that we need at least 6 bags to guarantee that there is at least one bag with more than one piece of candy.

This rule applies to any situation where we need to divide things up into sets and make sure each set has something in common. It helps us make sure we have enough sets to guarantee that we meet this goal. It's like making sure you have enough slices of pizza for everyone at a party so nobody goes hungry!
