AMO-Bench 2025 Problem 35
- Answer
In a game, a positive integer not exceeding 10000 is initially written on a blackboard. Two players, Player 1 and Player 2, take turns making moves, with Player 1 going first. A move consists of erasing a positive integer greater than 1 from the blackboard and replacing it with five non-negative integers that sum to and whose pairwise differences are at most 1. For example, the integer 11 could be replaced with 2, 2, 2, 2, 3. We also stipulate that 1 couldn't be replaced with five integers. The game ends when a player cannot make a valid move, at which point the other player wins. Assuming both players use an optimal strategy and Player 1 wins, how many possible values of are there?
