Problem Statement

Milly chooses a positive integer nn and then Uriel colors each integer between 11 and nn inclusive red or blue. Then Milly chooses four numbers a,b,c,da, b, c, d of the same color (there may be repeated numbers). If a+b+c=da+b+c= d then Milly wins. Determine the smallest nn Milly can choose to ensure victory, no matter how Uriel colors.
