Consider algorithms with unbounded computation time that probe the entries of the adjacency matrix of an n vertex graph, and need to output a clique. We show that if the input graph is drawn at random fromG n , 1 2(and hence is likely to have a clique of size roughly 2 log n ), then for every δ <2 and constant ℓ , there is an α <2 (that may depend on δ and ℓ ) such that no algorithm that makes n δ probes in ℓ rounds is likely (over the choice of the random graph) to output a clique of size larger than α log n .
