Question 136

The numbers $1, 2, \ldots, 2014$ are arranged evenly around a circle in arbitrary order. We are permitted to swap two adjacent numbers, as long as they do not sum to $2015$. Prove that it is impossible to perform finitely many swaps so that each number ends up diametrically opposite from its starting point.
