Let $n\ge 2$ be a positive integer. The integers $1,2,\cdots,n$ are written on a board. In a move, Alice can pick two integers written on the board $a\neq b$ such that $a+b$ is an even number, erase both $a$ and $b$ from the board and write the number $\frac{a+b}{2}$ on the board instead. Find all $n$ for which Alice can make a sequence of moves so that she ends up with only one number remaining on the board.
[b]Note.[/b] When $n=3$, Alice changes $(1,2,3)$ to $(2,2)$ and can't make any further moves.

A token is placed at each vertex of a regular $2n$-gon. A [i]move[/i] consists in choosing an edge of the $2n$-gon and swapping the two tokens placed at the endpoints of that edge. After a finite number of moves have been performed, it turns out that every two tokens have been swapped exactly once. Prove that some edge has never been chosen.

Given positive integers $n$ and $k \leq n$. Consider an equilateral triangular board with
side $n$, which consists of circles: in the first (top) row there is one circle, in the second row there are
two circles, $\ldots$ , in the bottom row there are $n$ circles (see the figure below). Let us place checkers on
this board so that any line parallel to a side of the triangle (there are $3n$ such lines) contains no more
than $k$ checkers. Denote by $T(k, n)$ the largest possible number of checkers in such a placement.
