There is a box with 2020 stones. Ana and Beto alternately play removing stones from the box and starting with Ana. Each player in turn must remove a positive number of stones that is capicua. Whoever leaves the box empty wins. Determine which of the two has a strategy winner and explain what that strategy is. $Note: $ A positive integer is capicua if it can be read equally from right to right. left and left to right. For example, 3, 22, 484 and 2002 are capicuas.

A standard deck of $52$ cards is shuffled and randomly arranged in a queue, with each card having a suit $(\diamondsuit,\clubsuit,\heartsuit,\spadesuit)$ and a rank $(\text{Ace},2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,\text{Jack},\text{Queen},\text{ King})$. For example, a card with the $\diamondsuit$ suit and the $7$ rank would be denoted as $\diamondsuit7$, and a card with the $\spadesuit$ and the $\text{Ace}$ rank would be denoted as $\spadesuit\text{Ace}$. In the queue, there exists a card with a rank of $\text{Ace}$ that appears for the first time in the queue. Let the card immediately following the above card be denoted as card $C$. Is the probability that $C$ is a $\spadesuit\text{A}$ higher than, equal to, or lower than the probability that $C$ is a $\clubsuit2$?

Put $\mathbb{A}=\{ \mathrm{yes}, \mathrm{no} \}$. A function $f\colon \mathbb{A}^n\rightarrow \mathbb{A}$ is called a [i]decision function[/i] if (a) the value of the function changes if we change all of its arguments; and (b) the values does not change if we replace any of the arguments by the function value. A function $d\colon \mathbb{A}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{A}$ is called a [i]dictatoric function[/i], if there is an index $i$ such that the value of the function equals its $i$th argument. The [i]democratic function[/i] is the function $m\colon \mathbb{A}^3 \rightarrow \mathbb{A}$ that outputs the majority of its arguments. Prove that any decision function is a composition of dictatoric and democratic functions.
