An interstellar hotel has $100$ rooms with capacities $101,102,\ldots, 200$ people. These rooms are occupied by $n$ people in total. Now a VIP guest is about to arrive and the owner wants to provide him with a personal room. On that purpose, the owner wants to choose two rooms $A$ and $B$ and move all guests from $A$ to $B$ without exceeding its capacity. Determine the largest $n$ for which the owner can be sure that he can achieve his goal no matter what the initial distribution of the guests is.
