Problem Statement

Find the smallest natural number nonzero n so that it exists in real numbers x1,x2,...,xnx_1, x_2,..., x_n which simultaneously check the conditions: 1) xi[1/2,2]x_i \in [1/2 , 2] , i=1,2,...,ni = 1, 2,... , n 2) x1+x2+...+xn7n6x_1+x_2+...+x_n \ge \frac{7n}{6} 3) 1x1+1x2+...+1xn4n3\frac{1}{x_1}+\frac{1}{x_2}+...+\frac{1}{x_n}\ge \frac{4n}{3}
