Problem Statement

A grasshopper can jump along a checkered strip for 8,98, 9 or 1010 cells in any direction. A natural number nn is called jumpable if the grasshopper can start from some cell of a strip of length nn and visit every cell exactly once. Find at least one non-jumpable number n>50n > 50.
