question

On some planet, there are

2^{N}

countries

(N \geq 4)

. Each country has a flag

N

units wide and one unit high composed of

N

fields of size

1 \times 1

, each field being either yellow or blue. No two countries have the same flag. We say that a set of

N

flags is diverse if these flags can be arranged into an

N \times N

square so that all

N

fields on its main diagonal will have the same color. Determine the smallest positive integer

M

such that among any

M

distinct flags, there exist

N

flags forming a diverse set.

Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)

On some planet, there are 2^(N) countries (N≥4). Each country has a flag N units wide and one unit high composed of N fields of size 1×1, each field being either yellow or blue. No two countries have the same flag.

We say that a set of N flags is diverse if these flags can be arranged into an N×N square so that all N fields on its main diagonal will have the same color. Determine the smallest positive integer M such that among any M distinct flags, there exist N flags forming a diverse set.

Original LaTeX notation

On some planet, there are $2^{N}$ countries $(N \geq 4)$. Each country has a flag $N$ units wide and one unit high composed of $N$ fields of size $1 \times 1$, each field being either yellow or blue. No two countries have the same flag.

We say that a set of $N$ flags is diverse if these flags can be arranged into an $N \times N$ square so that all $N$ fields on its main diagonal will have the same color. Determine the smallest positive integer $M$ such that among any $M$ distinct flags, there exist $N$ flags forming a diverse set.
