Three distinct points $A$, $B$, and $C$ are fixed on a line in this order. Let $\Gamma$ be a circle passing through $A$ and $C$ whose center does not lie on the line $AC$. Denote by $P$ the intersection of the tangents to $\Gamma$ at $A$ and $C$. Suppose $\Gamma$ meets the segment $PB$ at $Q$. Prove that the intersection of the bisector of $\angle AQC$ and the line $AC$ does not depend on the choice of $\Gamma$.

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Alice and Bob play the following game. First, Alice picks $n + 1$ subsets $A_1,...,A_{n+1}$ of $\{1,... ,2^n\}$ each of size $2^{n-1}$. Second, Bob picks $n + 1$ arbitrary integers $a_1,...,a_{n+1}$. Finally, Alice picks an integer $t$. Bob wins if there exists an integer $1 \le i \le n + 1$ and $s \in A_i$ such that $s + a_i \equiv t$ (mod $2^n$). Otherwise, Alice wins. Find all values of $n$ where Alice has a winning strategy.
