Problem 1 ( 2 0 / 1 0 0 ) Recall that R ( n , n ) is the smallest number N such that

Problem 1(20/100)
Recall that R(n,n) is the smallest number N such that regardless how one colors the edges
of KN, there is always a monochromatic Kn in the colored KN. We also saw that R(3,3)=6.
Suppose aliens invade the earth and threaten to obliterate it in a year's time unless human
beings can find the Ramsey number for red five and blue five. We could marshal the
world's best minds and fastest computers, and within a year we could probably calculate
the value. If the aliens demanded the Ramsey number for red six and blue six, however,
we would have no choice but to launch a preemptive attack. -- Paul Erdos
To check whether R(6,6)=m, one has to go over all possible edge coloring of Km
How many different edge colorings are there on Km? What is the number for m=110?
Suppose your computer is so smart that it detects monochromatic triangle in 1 CPU cycle
(apparently surreal, in real life not even a quadratic time algorithm is known, see e.g.
here). How much time would it take to go over all the colorings? CPU frequency is 3.2 GHz
