KURSCHAK 2010 Problem 1

    We have nn keys, each of them belonging to exactly one of nn locked chests. Our goal is to decide which key opens which chest. In one try we may choose a key and a chest, and check whether the chest can be opened with the key. Find the minimal number p(n)p(n) with the property that using p(n)p(n) tries, we can surely discover which key belongs to which chest.
