Let $p$ be a prime. We arrange the numbers in ${\{1,2,\ldots ,p^2} \}$ as a $p \times p$ matrix $A = ( a_{ij} )$. Next we can select any row or column and add $1$ to every number in it, or subtract $1$ from every number in it. We call the arrangement [i]good[/i] if we can change every number of the matrix to $0$ in a finite number of such moves. How many good arrangements are there?

Two players $A$ and $B$ play the following game. An even number of cells are placed on a circle. $A$ begins and $A$ and $B$ play alternately, where each move consists of choosing a free cell and writing either $O$ or $M$ in it. The player after whose move the word $OMO$ (OMO = [i]Osterreichische Mathematik Olympiade[/i]) occurs for the first time in three successive cells wins the game. If no such word occurs, then the game is a draw. Prove that if player $B$ plays correctly, then player $A$ cannot win.
