Given a connected graph with $n$ edges, where there are no parallel edges. For any two cycles $C,C'$ in the graph, define its [i]outer cycle[/i] to be
\[C*C'=\{x|x\in (C-C')\cup (C'-C)\}.\]
(1) Let $r$ be the largest postive integer so that we can choose $r$ cycles $C_1,C_2,\ldots,C_r$ and for all $1\leq k\leq r$ and $1\leq i$, $j_1,j_2,\ldots,j_k\leq r$, we have
\[C_i\neq C_{j_1}*C_{j_2}*\cdots*C_{j_k}.\]
(Remark: There should have been an extra condition that either $j_1\neq i$ or $k\neq 1$)
(2) Let $s$ be the largest positive integer so that we can choose $s$ edges that do not form a cycle.
(Remark: A more precise way of saying this is that any nonempty subset of these $s$ edges does not form a cycle)
Show that $r+s=n$.
Note: A cycle is a set of edges of the form $\{A_iA_{i+1},1\leq i\leq n\}$ where $n\geq 3$, $A_1,A_2,\ldots,A_n$ are distinct vertices, and $A_{n+1}=A_1$.

Anna and Bob are playing a game on a rectangular board with $i$ rows and $j$ columns. Anna and Bob alternate turns with Anna going first. On each turn, a player places a penny in a square and then all squares in the same row and column of that square are marked. A player cannot place a penny in any marked square. When a player cannot place a penny in any square, they lose and the other player wins. How many ordered pairs of integers $(i, j)$ with $1 \le i \le 2020, 1 \le j \le 2020$ are there such that Anna wins?

Consider the following $3\times 2$ array formed by using the numbers $1,2,3,4,5,6$,
$$\begin{pmatrix} a_{11}& a_{12}\\a_{21}& a_{22}\\ a_{31}& a_{32}\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix}1& 6\\2& 5\\ 3& 4\end{pmatrix}.$$
Observe that all row sums are equal, but the sum of the square of the squares is not the same for each row. Extend the above array to a $3\times k$ array $(a_{ij})_{3\times k}$ for a suitable $k$, adding more columns, using the numbers $7,8,9,\dots ,3k$ such that $$\sum_{j=1}^k a_{1j}=\sum_{j=1}^k a_{2j}=\sum_{j=1}^k a_{3j}~~\text{and}~~\sum_{j=1}^k (a_{1j})^2=\sum_{j=1}^k (a_{2j})^2=\sum_{j=1}^k (a_{3j})^2$$
