Problem Statement

10.4, 11.3 Given N3N\geq 3 points enumerated with 1, 2, ..., NN. Each two numbers are connected by mean of arrow from a lesser number to a greater one. A coloring of all arrows into red and blue is called monochromatic iff for any numbers AA and BB there are no two monochromatic paths from AA to BB of different colors. Find the number of monochromatic colorings. (I. Bogdanov, G. Chelnokov)
