    Let n>1n > 1 be a fixed integer. Alberto and Barbara play the following game: (i) Alberto chooses a positive integer, (ii) Barbara chooses an integer greater than 11 which is a multiple or submultiple of the number Alberto chose (including itself), (iii) Alberto increases or decreases the Barbara's number by 11 . Steps (ii) and (iii) are alternatively repeated. Barbara wins if she succeeds to reach the number nn in at most 5050 moves. For which values of nn can she win, no matter how Alberto plays?
