Let

be an integer. Consider an

chessboard consisting of

unit squares. A configuration of

rooks on this board is
peaceful if every row and every column contains exactly one rook. Find the greatest positive integer

such that, for each peaceful configuration of

rooks, there is a

square which does not contain a rook on any of its

unit squares.

Let $n \geq 2$ be an integer. Consider an $n \times n$ chessboard consisting of $n^2$ unit squares. A configuration of $n$ rooks on this board is [i]peaceful[/i] if every row and every column contains exactly one rook. Find the greatest positive integer $k$ such that, for each peaceful configuration of $n$ rooks, there is a $k \times k$ square which does not contain a rook on any of its $k^2$ unit squares.
