Their names are: $A$, $R$, and $C$ (not in order). During lunch, $C$ made the statements: “$R$ and $A$ have different genders” and “$R$ and $A$ are my parents”, and $A$ made the statements “I am $C$'s dad” and “I am $R$'s daughter.” In fact, each dwarf told truth once and told a lie once. What is the name of the dad, what is the name of the child, and is the child a son or a daughter? PS. You should use hide for answers.

In a country, there are $2018$ cities, some of which are connected by roads. Each city is connected to at least three other cities.

In a game, two players control an adventurer in a dungeon. The adventurer starts with $H{}$ hit points, an integer greater than one. The dungeon consists of several chambers. There are some passageways in the dungeon, each leading from a chamber to a chamber. These passageways are one-way, and a passageway may return to its starting chamber. Every chamber can be exited through at least one passageway. There are 5 types of chambers: [list] [*]Entrance: the adventurer starts here, no passageway comes in here; [*]Hollow: nothing happens; [*]Spike: the adventurer loses a hit point; [*]Trap: the adventurer gets shot by an arrow; [*]Catacomb: the adventurer loses hit points equal to the total number of times they have been hit by an arrow. [/list] The two players control the adventurer alternatively. At a turn, a player can move him through one passageway. A player loses if the adventurer’s hit points fall below zero due to their action (at 0 hit points, the character is alive). Construct a dungeon map, which has at most 20 chambers in total and exactly one entrance, with the following condition: the first player has a winning strategy if $H{}$ is a prime, and the second player has a winning strategy if $H{}$ is composite. [i]Note: If the game doesn’t end after a finite number of moves, neither player wins.[/i]
