Question 87

A finite set of integers is called bad if its elements add up to $2010$. A finite set of integers is a Benelux-set if none of its subsets is bad. Determine the smallest integer $n$ such that the set $\{502,503,504, \ldots, 2009\}$ can be partitioned into $n$ Benelux-sets.
(A partition of a set $S$ into $n$ subsets is a collection of $n$ pairwise disjoint subsets of $S$, the union of which equals $S$.)
