Professor Moriarty has designed a “prime-testing trail.” The trail has $2002$ stations, labeled $1,... , 2002$.
Each station is colored either red or green, and contains a table which indicates, for each of the digits $0, ..., 9$, another station number. A student is given a positive integer $n$, and then walks along the trail, starting at station $1$. The student reads the first (leftmost) digit of $n,$ and looks this digit up in station $1$’s table to get a new station location. The student then walks to this new station, reads the second digit of $n$ and looks it up in this station’s table to get yet another station location, and so on, until the last (rightmost) digit of $n$ has been read and looked up, sending the student to his or her final station. Here is an example that shows possible values for some of the tables. Suppose that $n = 19$:

Using these tables, station $1$, digit $1$ leads to station $29$m station $29$, digit $9$ leads to station $1429$, and
station $1429$ is green.
Professor Moriarty claims that for any positive integer $n$, the final station (in the example, $1429$) will be green if and only if $n$ is prime. Is this possible?

Alice and Bob are playing "factoring game." On the paper, $270000(=2^43^35^4)$ is written and each person picks one number from the paper(call it $N$) and erase $N$ and writes integer $X,Y$ such that $N=XY$ and $\text{gcd}(X,Y)\ne1.$ Alice goes first and the person who can no longer make this factoring loses. If two people use optimal strategy, prove that Alice always win.
