Let $k$ and $s$ be positive integers such that $s<(2k + 1)^2$. Initially, one cell out of an $n \times n$ grid is coloured green. On each turn, we pick some green cell $c$ and colour green some $s$ out of the $(2k + 1)^2$ cells in the $(2k + 1) \times (2k + 1)$ square centred at $c$. No cell may be coloured green twice. We say that $s$ is $k-sparse$ if there exists some positive number $C$ such that, for every positive integer $n$, the total number of green cells after any number of turns is always going to be at most $Cn$. Find, in terms of $k$, the least $k$-sparse integer $s$. [I]Proposed by Nikolai Beluhov.[/i]

A box contains $100$ tickets. Each ticket has a real number written on it. There are no restrictions on the type of number except that they are all different (they can be integers, rational, positive, negative, irrational, large or small). Of course there is one ticket that has the highest number and that is the winner. The game consists of drawing a ticket at random, looking at it and deciding whether to keep it or not. If we choose to keep him, it is verified if he was the oldest, in which case we win a million pesos (if we don't win, the game is over). If we don't think it's the biggest, we can discard it and draw another one, repeating the process until we like one or we run out of tickets. Going back to choose a previously discarded ticket is prohibited. Find a game strategy that gives at least a $25\%$ chance of winning.

[i]Palindromic partitioning [/i] of the natural number $ A $ is called, when $ A $ is written as the sum of natural the terms $ A = a_1 + a_2 + \ ldots + a_ {n-1} + a_n $ ($ n \geq 1 $), in which $ a_1 = a_n , a_2 = a_ {n-1} $ and in general, $ a_i = a_ {n + 1 - i} $ with $ 1 \leq i \leq n $. For example, $ 16 = 16 $, $ 16 = 2 + 12 + 2 $ and $ 16 = 7 + 1 + 1 + 7 $ are [i]palindromic partitions[/i] of the number $16$.
