Somewhere in the universe, nn students are taking a 10-question math competition. Their collective performance is called laughable if, for some pair of questions, there exist 57 students such that either all of them answered both questions correctly or none of them answered both questions correctly. Compute the smallest nn such that the performance is necessarily laughable.
