There are $n > 1$ points on the plane. Two take turns connecting more an unconnected pair of points by a vector of one of two possible directions. If after the next move of a player the sum of all drawn vectors is zero, then the second one wins; if it's another move is impossible, and there was no zero sum, then the first one wins. Who wins when played correctly?

In Venetiania, the smallest currency is the ducat. The finance minister instructs his officials as follows: "I wish six kinds of banknotes, each worth a whole number of ducats. Those six values must be such that there exists a number N with the following property: Any amount of money of $n$ ducats ($n$ positive and integer) where $n \le N$ may be paid in such a way that no more than two copies of each kind are required either to pay or to return. I also wish those six values to be as large as possible for $N$. Determine those six values and provide proof that all conditions have been met." Solve the problem of those officials
