Two positive integers are written on the blackboard. Initially, one of them is $2000$ and the other is smaller than $2000$. If the arithmetic mean $ m$ of the two numbers on the blackboard is an integer, the following operation is allowed: one of the two numbers is erased and replaced by $ m$. Prove that this operation cannot be performed more than ten times. Give an example where the operation is performed ten times.

Two players play the following game. The first player starts by writing either $0$ or $1$ and then, on his every move, chooses either $0$ or $1$ and writes it to the right of the existing digits until there are $1999$ digits. Each time the first player puts down a digit (except the first one) , the second player chooses two digits among those already written and swaps them. Can the second player guarantee that after his last move the line of digits will be symmetrical about the middle digit? (I Izmestiev)
