2017 Estonia Team Selection Test, 5

The leader of an IMO team chooses positive integers $n$ and $k$ with $n > k$, and announces them to the deputy leader and a contestant. The leader then secretly tells the deputy leader an $n$-digit binary string, and the deputy leader writes down all $n$-digit binary strings which differ from the leader’s in exactly $k$ positions. (For example, if $n = 3$ and $k = 1$, and if the leader chooses $101$, the deputy leader would write down $001, 111$ and $100$.) The contestant is allowed to look at the strings written by the deputy leader and guess the leader’s string. What is the minimum number of guesses (in terms of $n$ and $k$) needed to guarantee the correct answer?

Problem: A mathematical moron is given the values b; c; A for a triangle ABC and is required to fi nd a. He does this by using the cosine rule $ a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bccosA$ and misapplying the low of the logarithm to this to get $ log a^2 = log b^2 + log c^2 - log(2bc cos A) $ He proceeds to evaluate the right-hand side correctly, takes the anti-logarithms and gets the correct answer. What can be said about the triangle ABC?

Given a positive integer $k$, a pigeon and a seagull play a game on an $n\times n$ board. The pigeon goes first, and they take turns doing the operations. The pigeon will choose $m$ grids and lay an egg in each grid he chooses. The seagull will choose a $k\times k$ grids and eat all the eggs inside them. If at any point every grid in the $n\times n $ board has an egg in it, then the pigeon wins. Else, the seagull wins. For every integer $n\geq k$, find all $m$ such that the pigeon wins.
