Problem Statement

1010 distinct numbers are given. Professor Odd had calculated all possible products of 11, 33, 55, 77, 99 numbers among given numbers, and wrote down the sum of all these products. Similarly, Professor Even had calculated all possible products of 22, 44, 66, 88, 1010 numbers among given numbers, and wrote down the sum of all these products. It appears that Odd's sum is greater than Even's sum by 11. Prove that one of 1010 given numbers is equal to 11.
