A set of tiles are numbered 1-N, In one step you can remove all tiles with a square number,and than rename all the tiles,starting from 1. This is the question,

and what I found is is formula ceil((sqrt(N)-1)*2)

I tried many values still unsuccessfull of proving or disproving anything about this question,

Please Help me prove or disprove this cool formula or trick I would rather say.
