OIM 2007 Problem 3

    Two teams, AA and BB , fight for a territory limited by a circumference.

    AA has nn blue flags and BB has nn white flags ( n≥2n\geq 2 , fixed). They play alternatively and AA begins the game. Each team, in its turn, places one of his flags in a point of the circumference that has not been used in a previous play. Each flag, once placed, cannot be moved.

    Once all 2n2n flags have been placed, territory is divided between the two teams. A point of the territory belongs to AA if the closest flag to it is blue, and it belongs to BB if the closest flag to it is white. If the closest blue flag to a point is at the same distance than the closest white flag to that point, the point is neutral (not from AA nor from BB ). A team wins the game is their points cover a greater area that that covered by the points of the other team. There is a draw if both cover equal areas. Prove that, for every nn , team BB has a winning strategy.
