You have one hundred marbles, and an infinite supply of trash bags. If you were to put the marbles in the bags, so that no two bags had the same amount of marbles, what is the most bags that you could use?

(In reply to re: Nesting Allowed? by Hank)

...Put the marbles into bags... It depends on if you think you have to put at least 1 marble into a bag.

Note: I thinkg "the marbles" in that quote refers to the 100 marbles, so that doesn't imply that you couldn't have a bag with 1.
