[url=http://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c6h1667031p10595016][b]Problem 3.[/b][/url] There are $2018$ players sitting around a round table. At the beginning of the game we arbitrarily deal all the cards from a deck of $K$ cards to the players (some players may receive no cards). In each turn we choose a player who draws one card from each of the two neighbors. It is only allowed to choose a player whose each neighbor holds a nonzero number of cards. The game terminates when there is no such player. Determine the largest possible value of $K$ such that, no matter how we deal the cards and how we choose the players, the game always terminates after a finite number of turns.

For $n \ge N +1$, the number $a_n$ is defined as follows: choose $k$ to be the number among $1, 2, ..., n - 1$ for which the remainder obtained when $a_k$ is divided by $2^n$ is the smallest, and define $a_n = 2a_k$ (if there are more than one such $k$, choose the largest such $k$). Prove that there exist $M$ for which $a_n = a_M$ holds for every $n \ge M$.
