KURSCHAK 2005 Problem 3

    We build a tower of 2×12\times 1 dominoes in the following way. First, we place 5555 dominoes on the table such that they cover a 10×1110\times 11 rectangle; this is the first story of the tower. We then build every new level with 5555 domioes above the exact same 10×1110\times 11 rectangle. The tower is called stable if for every non-lattice point of the 10×1110\times 11 rectangle, we can find a domino that has an inner point above it. How many stories is the lowest stable tower?
