There are 6 squares in a row. Each one is labeled with the name of Ana or Beto and with a number from 1 to 6, using each number without repetition. Ana and Beto take turns painting each square according to the order of the numbers on the labels. Whoever paints the square will be the person whose name is on the label. When painting, the person can choose to paint the square either red or blue. Beto wins if at the end there are the same number of blue squares as red squares, and Ana wins otherwise. In how many of all the possible ways of labeling the squares can Beto ensure his victory?
The following is an example of a labeling of the labels.

The sweeties shop called "Olympiad" sells boxes of $6,9$ or $20$ chocolates. Groups of students from a school that is near the shop collect money to buy a chocolate for each student; to make this they buy a box and than give to everybody a chocolate. Like this students can create groups of $15=6+9$ students, $38=2*9+20$ students, etc. The seller has promised to the students that he can satisfy any group of students, and if he will need to open a new box of chocolate for any group (like groups of $4,7$ or $10$ students) than he will give all the chocolates for free to this group. Can there be constructed the biggest group that profits free chocolates, and if so, how many students are there in this group?

Consider a game in the integer points of the real line, where an Angel tries to escape from a Devil. A positive integer $k$ is chosen, and the Angel and the Devil take turns playing. Initially, no point is blocked. The Angel, in point $A$, can move to any point $P$ such that $|AP| \le k$, as long as $P$ is not blocked. The Devil may block an arbitrary point. The Angel loses if it cannot move and wins if it does not lose in finitely many turns. Let $f(k)$ denote the least number of rounds the Devil takes to win. Prove that $$0.5 k \log_2 (k) (1 + o(1)) \le f(k) \le k \log_2(k) (1 +o(1)).$$
Note: $a(x) = b(x) (1+o(1))$ if $\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{b(x)}{a(x)} = 1$.
