Bonus Question no. 30. (Student may or may not give the answer)
• 20 points for the correct answer.
• 0 point for the blank answer.
• -7 points for the incorrect answer.

In the case that an answer is not integral, students have to put the

the case that the answer from calculating is more than 5 digits.

30. Let N be a positive integer.

There are N boxes, each containing a different number of coins from 1 to
N coins.
An operation is that we must select at least one box and take the same
number of coins from every selected box.
For example, assume that N = 100 , the first of the operation students may
select the boxes containing 10 to 100 coins and remove 10 coins from each of
the 91 selected boxes.
If it suffices to repeat an operation 7 times so that every coin is taken out
of every box, this will make all boxes to be empty, then find the maximum
value of N.
