, do not answer with "
is a solution" only. Either you post any kind of proof or at least something unexpected (like "
is the smallest solution). Someone that does not see that is a solution of the above without your post is completely wrong here, this is an IMO-level forum.
table are initially white. Alice and Bob play a game. First Alice paints 
of the fields in red. Then Bob chooses 
rows and columns from the table and paints all fields in them in black. Alice wins if there is at least one red field left. Find the least value of such that Alice can win the game no matter how Bob plays.
