At a math contest, <math>57</math> students are wearing blue shirts, and another <math>75</math> students are wearing yellow shirts. The 132 students are assigned into <math>66</math> pairs. In exactly <math>23</math> of these pairs, both students are wearing blue shirts. In how many pairs are both students wearing yellow shirts?
 
 
 
<math>\textbf{(A)} ~23 \qquad\textbf{(B)} ~32 \qquad\textbf{(C)} ~37 \qquad\textbf{(D)} ~41 \qquad\textbf{(E)} ~64</math>

There are <math>46</math> students paired with a blue partner. The other <math>11</math> students wearing blue shirts must each be paired with a partner wearing a shirt of the opposite color. There are <math>64</math> students remaining. Therefore the requested number of pairs is <math>\tfrac{64}{2}=\boxed{\textbf{(B)} ~32}</math> ~Punxsutawney Phil
