Problem 5

A principal is pushing out an emergency COVID-19 alert to his school of $40$ teachers and $500$ students. Suppose the announcement is first approved by his $5$ aides. Then, each of the aides share the announcement to $n$ teachers and $t$ students, where $n,t \in \mathbb{Z}$ and for every aide $n \neq t$ . Moreover, $n+t = (u+1)^2$ , where $u$ is the round number ( for the aides releasing info it is round 1, then round 2....) After every round $u$ , some $k$ teachers in the previous round share the announcement to a new group of $n$ teachers and $t$ students, where $k=(u+1)^2$ . How many rounds will it take until the entire school is informed? Assume that after all teachers are informed, $n=0$ , but $t$ still grows as if $n \neq 0$ .
