GAIC Math 2024 Problem 131

  • Answer

Alice and Bob are playing hide-and-seek. Initially, Bob selects a point BB inside a unit square (without informing Alice). Then, Alice sequentially selects points P0,P1,…,PnP_0, P_1, \ldots, P_n on the plane. After each selection of a point Pk(1≤k≤nP_k (1 \leq k \leq n, and at this point, Alice has not yet chosen the next point), Bob informs Alice which of the points PkP_k and Pk−1P_{k-1} is closer to point BB. After Alice selects PnP_n and receives Bob's response, she chooses a final point AA. If the distance between AA and BB does not exceed 12020\frac{1}{2020}, Alice wins. Otherwise, Bob wins. When n=18n=18, which of the following options is correct? A. Alice cannot guarantee victory. B. Alice can guarantee victory.
