    After the elections in Nowhereland, there are 50<n<10050 < n < 100 representatives in the parliament, all from a single party called the Blue Party. (The Blue Party has a single president.) According to the law, a party in the parliament may be divided into two parties as long as the following conditions are met:

    • The president of the old party is not allowed to become a member of the newly formed parties. His or her parliament mandate will terminate, thereby reducing the total number of representatives.
    • Every other member may decide which new party to join.
    • Each of the new parties must have at least one member among the representatives.
    • Each of the new parties must elect a president from their representatives. If at least one such splitting of a party results in all parties in the parliament having the same number of members, the parliament will be dissolved. What should be the value of nn so that this could never happen?
