Question 22
Let $n \geqslant 2$ be an integer. Consider an $n \times n$ chessboard divided into $n^{2}$ unit squares. We call a configuration of $n$ rooks on this board happy if every row and every column contains exactly one rook. Find the greatest positive integer $k$ such that for every happy configuration of rooks, we can find a $k \times k$ square without a rook on any of its $k^{2}$ unit squares.
