We say that a collection $C$ of identical dominoes is a maximal grid-aligned configuration on the board if $C$ consists of $(n^2-1)/2$ dominoes where each domino covers exactly two neighboring squares and the dominoes don't overlap: $C$ then covers all but one square on the board. We are allowed to slide (but not rotate) a domino on the board to cover the uncovered square, resulting in a new maximal grid-aligned configuration with another square uncovered. Let $k(C)$ be the number of distinct maximal grid-aligned configurations obtainable from $C$ by repeatedly sliding dominoes. Find the maximum value of $k(C)$ as a function of $n$ .\n\n## Instructions\n\nSolve the mathematical problem above and write your final answer to `/workspace/answer.txt`.\n\n**Important**: Write only your final answer to the file, not the full solution process.\n\n### Guidelines\n\n- Provide your final numerical answer or mathematical expression\n- Write the answer as plain text (no special formatting needed)\n- Be precise and clear in your answer\n- The answer should directly respond to what the problem asks for\n\n### Example\n\nIf the problem asks \"What is 2 + 2?\", your answer file should contain:\n\n```\n4\n```\n\nYour answer will be evaluated against the correct solution using an automated grading system.\n", "memory": "", "runnable": false, "difficulty": "hard", "language": "", "cpus": "", "instruction_truncated": false, "category": "math", "compose": false, "has_solution": true, "oracle": null, "docker_image": "", "taskset": "omnimath", "tags": ["omni-math"]}, "runs": []}
