OMCPLP 2014 Problem 6

  • Day 2

Kilua and Ndoti play the following game in a square ABCDABCD : Kilua chooses one of the sides of the square and draws a point XX at this side. Ndoti chooses one of the other three sides and draws a point Y. Kilua chooses another side that hasn't been chosen and draws a point Z. Finally, Ndoti chooses the last side that hasn't been chosen yet and draws a point W. Each one of the players can draw his point at a vertex of ABCDABCD , but they have to choose the side of the square that is going to be used to do that. For example, if Kilua chooses ABAB , he can draws XX at the point BB and it doesn't impede Ndoti of choosing BCBC . A vertex cannot de chosen twice. Kilua wins if the area of the convex quadrilateral formed by XX , YY , ZZ , and WW is greater or equal than a half of the area of ABCDABCD . Otherwise, Ndoti wins. Which player has a winning strategy? How can he play?
