Question 161

At a fish market there are 10 stalls, each selling the same 10 kinds of fish. Each fish was caught in either the North Sea or the Mediterranean Sea, and each stall has, for each kind of fish, only fish of one origin. A number, say $k$, of customers buy exactly one fish from each stall, in such a way that they obtain exactly one of each kind of fish. Moreover, for each pair of customers, there is a kind of fish of which the customers have fish of different origin. Consider all possible ways to supply the stalls according to the rules above.
What is the largest possible value of $k$?
