Two thousand points are given on a circle. Label one of the points 1. From this point, count 2 points in the clockwise direction and label this point 2. From the point labeled 2, count 3 points in the clockwise direction and label this point 3. (See figure.) Continue this process until the labels $1, 2, 3, \dots, 1993$ are all used. Some of the points on the circle will have more than one label and some points will not have a label. What is the smallest integer that labels the same point as 1993?

Anna and Boris have the same copy of $5\times5$ table filled with $25$ distinct numbers. After choosing the maximal number in the table, Anna erases the row and the column that contain this number. Then she continue the same operations with a smaller table till it is possible.Boris basically does the same; however, each time choosing the minimal number in a table.
