There are $n^2$ stations on a slope of a mountain, all at different altitudes. Each of two cable car companies, $A$ and $B$, operates $k$ cable cars; each cable car provides a transfer from one of the stations to a higher one (with no intermediate stops). The $k$ cable cars of $A$ have $k$ different starting points and $k$ different finishing points, and a cable car which starts higher also finishes higher. The same conditions hold for $B$. We say that two stations are linked by a company if one can start from the lower station and reach the higher one by using one or more cars of that company (no other movements between stations are allowed). Determine the smallest positive integer $k$ for which one can guarantee that there are two stations that are linked by both companies.\n\n[i]\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": []}
