Let $n\ge 3$ be an integer. Lucas and Matías play a game in a regular $n$-sided polygon with a vertex marked as a trap. Initially Matías places a token at one vertex of the polygon. In each step, Lucas says a positive integer and Matías moves the token that number of vertices clockwise or counterclockwise, at his choice. a) Determine all the $n\ge 3$ such that Matías can locate the token and move it in such a way as to never fall into the trap, regardless of the numbers Lucas says. Give the strategy to Matías. b) Determine all the $n\ge 3$ such that Lucas can force Matías to fall into the trap. Give the strategy to Lucas. Note. The two players know the value of $n$ and see the polygon.

Let $n \geq 4$ be an even integer. Consider an $n \times n$ grid. Two cells ($1 \times 1$ squares) are [i]neighbors[/i] if they share a side, are in opposite ends of a row, or are in opposite ends of a column. In this way, each cell in the grid has exactly four neighbors. An integer from 1 to 4 is written inside each square according to the following rules: [list] [*]If a cell has a 2 written on it, then at least two of its neighbors contain a 1. [*]If a cell has a 3 written on it, then at least three of its neighbors contain a 1. [*]If a cell has a 4 written on it, then all of its neighbors contain a 1.[/list] Among all arrangements satisfying these conditions, what is the maximum number that can be obtained by adding all of the numbers on the grid?
