Bob built a Web site and gave the URL only to his n friends, which he numbered from 1 to n. He
told friend number i that he/she can visit the Web site at most i times. Now Bob has a counter, C,
keeping track of the total number of visits to the site (but not the identities of who visits). What is
the minimum value for C such that Bob should know that one of his friends has visited his/her
maximum allowed number of times?
