BALTIC-WAY 2020 Problem 10

    Alice and Bob are playing hide and seek. Initially, Bob chooses a secret fixed point BB in the unit square. Then Alice chooses a sequence of points P0,P1,…,PNP_{0}, P_{1}, \ldots, P_{N} in the plane. After choosing PkP_{k} (but before choosing Pk+1P_{k+1} ) for k⩾1k \geqslant 1, Bob tells "warmer" if PkP_{k} is closer to BB than Pk−1P_{k-1}, otherwise he says "colder". After Alice has chosen PNP_{N} and heard Bob's answer, Alice chooses a final point AA. Alice wins if the distance ABA B is at most 12020\frac{1}{2020}, otherwise Bob wins. Show that if N=18N=18, Alice cannot guarantee a win.
