Aladdin has several gold ingots, and sometimes he asks the Genie to give him more. The Genie first adds a thousand ingots, but then takes half of the total number. Could it be possible that after asking the Genie for gold ten times, the number of Aladdin’s gold ingots increased, assuming that each time the Genie took half, he took an integer number of ingots? (5 points)

$ m$ and $ n$ are positive integers. In a $ 8 \times 8$ chessboard, $ (m,n)$ denotes the number of grids a Horse can jump in a chessboard ($ m$ horizontal $ n$ vertical or $ n$ horizontal $ m$ vertical ). If a $ (m,n) \textbf{Horse}$ starts from one grid, passes every grid once and only once, then we call this kind of Horse jump route a $ \textbf{H Route}$. For example, the $ (1,2) \textbf{Horse}$ has its $ \textbf{H Route}$. Find the smallest positive integer $ t$, such that from any grid of the chessboard, the $ (t,t\plus{}1) \textbf{Horse}$ does not has any $ \textbf{H Route}$.

Mari and Yuri play the next play. At first, there are two piles on the table, with $m$ and $n$ candies, respectively. At each turn, players eats one pile of candy from the table and distribute another pile of candy into two non-empty parts ,. Everything is done in turn and wins the player who can no longer share the pile (when there is only one candy left). Which player will win if both use the optimal strategy and Mari makes the first move?

A game is played by $n$ girls ($n \geq 2$), everybody having a ball. Each of the $\binom{n}{2}$ pairs of players, is an arbitrary order, exchange the balls they have at the moment. The game is called nice [b]nice[/b] if at the end nobody has her own ball and it is called [b]tiresome[/b] if at the end everybody has her initial ball. Determine the values of $n$ for which there exists a nice game and those for which there exists a tiresome game.
