An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers for which the difference between two consecutive numbers applies terms is constant. So this is an arithmetic sequence with difference $\frac56$: $$\frac13,\frac76, 2,\frac{17}{6},\frac{11}{3},\frac92.$$ The sequence of seven natural numbers $60$, $70$, $84$, $105$, $140$, $210$, $420$ has the property that the sequence inverted numbers (i.e. the row $\frac{1}{60}$, $\frac{1}{70}$, $\frac{1}{84}$, $\frac{1}{105}$, $\frac{1}{140}$, $\frac{1}{210}$,$\frac{1}{420}$ ) is an arithmetic sequence. (a) Is there a sequence of eight different natural numbers whose inverse numbers are one form an arithmetic sequence? (b) Is there an infinite sequence of distinct natural numbers whose inverses are form an arithmetic sequence?

Alice and Bob play a number game. Starting with a positive integer $n$ they take turns changing the number with Alice going first. Each player may change the current number $k$ to either $k-1$ or $\lceil k/2\rceil$. The person who changes $1$ to $0$ wins. Determine all $n$ such that Alice has a winning strategy.
