2021 Indonesia TST, C

Anis, Banu, and Cholis are going to play a game. They are given an $n\times n$ board consisting of $n^2$ unit squares, where $n$ is an integer and $n > 5$. In the beginning of the game, the number $n$ is written on each unit square. Then Anis, Banu, and Cholis take turns playing the game, repeatedly in that order, according to the following procedure: On every turn, an arrangement of $n$ squares on the same row or column is chosen, and every number from the chosen squares is subtracted by $1$. The turn cannot be done if it results in a negative number, that is, no arrangement of $n$ unit squares on the same column or row in which all of its unit squares contain a positive number can be found. The last person to get a turn wins. Determine which player will win the game.

Consider a right cylinder with height $5\sqrt3$. A plane intersects each of the bases of the cylinder at exactly one point, and the cylindric section (the intersection of the plane and the cylinder) forms an ellipse. Find the product of the sum and the di erence of the lengths of the major and minor axes of this ellipse. [i]Note:[/i] An ellipse is a regular oval shape resulting when a cone is cut by an oblique plane which does not intersect the base. The major axis is the longer diameter and the minor axis the shorter.
