# Mathematical Problem

Let $n$ be a positive integer.  There are $\tfrac{n(n+1)}{2}$ marks, each with a black side and a white side, arranged into an equilateral triangle, with the biggest row containing $n$ marks.  Initially, each mark has the black side up.  An operation is to choose a line parallel to the sides of the triangle, and flipping all the marks on that line.  A configuration is called admissible if it can be obtained from the initial configuration by performing a finite number of operations.  For each admissible configuration $C$ , let $f(C)$ denote the smallest number of operations required to obtain $C$ from the initial configuration.  Find the maximum value of $f(C)$ , where $C$ varies over all admissible configurations.

## Instructions

Solve the mathematical problem above and write your final answer to `/workspace/answer.txt`.

**Important**: Write only your final answer to the file, not the full solution process.

### Guidelines

- Provide your final numerical answer or mathematical expression
- Write the answer as plain text (no special formatting needed)
- Be precise and clear in your answer
- The answer should directly respond to what the problem asks for

### Example

If the problem asks "What is 2 + 2?", your answer file should contain:

```
4
```

Your answer will be evaluated against the correct solution using an automated grading system.
