    Let n⩾3n \geqslant 3 be an integer. An integer m⩾n+1m \geqslant n+1 is called nn-colourful if, given infinitely many marbles in each of nn colours C1,C2,…,CnC_{1}, C_{2}, \ldots, C_{n}, it is possible to place mm of them around a circle so that in any group of n+1n+1 consecutive marbles there is at least one marble of colour CiC_{i} for each i=1,…,ni=1, \ldots, n. Prove that there are only finitely many positive integers which are not nn-colourful. Find the largest among them.
