∀ {α : Type u_1} {β : Type u_2} {s : Finset α} {t : Finset β},
  t.card < s.card → ∀ {f : α → β}, Set.MapsTo f ↑s ↑t → ∃ x ∈ s, ∃ y ∈ s, x ≠ y ∧ f x = f y

If there are more pigeons than pigeonholes, then there are two pigeons in the same pigeonhole. See also Set.exists_ne_map_eq_of_encard_lt_of_maps_to and Set.exists_ne_map_eq_of_ncard_lt_of_maps_to.
