with the following property:
Find the last three digits of the smallest positive integerLet be any set containing elements. Partition the element subsets of into two partitions. Then, at least one of the partitions must contain pairwise disjoint sets.
Details and assumptions
Sets are called pairwise disjoint if for all
This condition must hold for all sets containing elements and all partitions of its element subsets.
This problem is a generalization of an old USAMO problem.
If the last three digits of are enter as your answer.
