Let natural $n \ge 2$ be given. Let Laura be a student in a class of more than $n+2$ students, all of which participated in an olympiad and solved some problems. Additionally, it is known that: for every pair of students there is exactly one problem that was solved by both students; for every pair of problems there is exactly one student who solved both of them; one specific problem was solved by Laura and exactly $n$ other students. Determine the number of students in Laura's class.
