Jul 22, 2010 at 10:22 comment added Gjergji Zaimi @Pietro: I dont think one has to be twice of the other. In the classical solution one considers the n chains C_k={k,2k,4k,...} for $k\in \{1,3,5,\dots, 2n-1\}$ and then use the pigeonhole principle.
Jul 22, 2010 at 10:12 comment added Gjergji Zaimi This is a problem for the epsilons :)
Jul 22, 2010 at 10:08 comment added Pietro Majer Actually, one is twice the other. Here pigeonhole seems better than induction. Consider the n subsets {1,2},{2,4},..,{n,2n}.
