2010 AIME I Problem 12
Let m \ge 3 be an integer and let S = \{3,4,5,\ldots,m\}. Find the smallest value of m such that for every partition of S into two subsets, at least one of the subsets contains integers a, b, and c (not necessarily distinct) such that ab = c.
Note: a partition of S is a pair of sets A, B such that A \cap B = \emptyset, A \cup B = S.
Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
