Alice and Bob play a game on a connected graph with $2n$ vertices, where $n\in \mathbb{N}$ and $n>1$.. Alice and Bob have tokens named A and B respectively. They alternate their turns with Alice going first. Alice gets to decide the starting positions of A and B. Every move, the player with the turn moves their token to an adjacent vertex. Bob's goal is to catch Alice, and Alice's goal is to prevent this. Note that positions of A, B are visible to both Alice and Bob at every moment. Provided they both play optimally, what is the maximum possible number of edges in the graph if Alice is able to evade Bob indefinitely? [i]Proposed by Shashank Ingalagavi and Vighnesh Sangle[/i]

We say that a string of digits from $0$ to $9$ is valid if the following conditions hold: First, for $2 \le k \le 4$, no consecutive run of $k$ digits sums to a multiple of $10$. Second, between any two $0$s, there are at least $3$ other digits. Find the last four digits of the number of valid strings of length $2020$.
