    Let k≥1k \geq 1 and N>1N>1 be two integers. On a circle are placed 2N+12 N+1 coins all showing heads. Calvin and Hobbes play the following game. Calvin starts and on his move can turn any coin from heads to tails. Hobbes on his move can turn at most one coin that is next to the coin that Calvin turned just now from tails to heads.
