Problem Statement

Find the greatest positive integer nn such that we can choose 20072007 different positive integers from [210n1,10n)[2\cdot 10^{n-1},10^{n}) such that for each two 1i<jn1\leq i<j\leq n there exists a positive integer a1a2an\overline{a_{1}a_{2}\ldots a_{n}} from the chosen integers for which ajai+2a_{j}\geq a_{i}+2.
