A function $f:\mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{N} $ is called nice if $f^a(b)=f(a+b-1)$, where $f^a(b)$ denotes $a$ times applied function $f$. Let $g$ be a nice function, and an integer $A$ exists such that $g(A+2018)=g(A)+1$. a) Prove that $g(n+2017^{2017})=g(n)$ for all $n \geq A+2$. b) If $g(A+1) \neq g(A+1+2017^{2017})$ find $g(n)$ for $n <A$.

The world and the european champion are determined in the same tournament carried in one round. There are $20$ teams and $k$ of them are european. The european champion is determined according to the results of the games only between those $k$ teams. What is the greatest $k$ such that the situation, when the single european champion is the single world outsider, is possible if: a) it is hockey (draws allowed)? b) it is volleyball (no draws)?
