    Let n≥2n \geq 2 and mm be positive integers. mm ballot boxes are placed in a line. Two players AA and BB play by turns, beginning with AA , in the following manner. Each turn, AA chooses two boxes and places a ballot in each of them. Afterwards, BB chooses one of the boxes, and removes every ballot from it. AA wins if after some turn of BB , there exists a box containing nn ballots. For each nn , find the minimum value of mm such that AA can guarantee a win independently of how BB plays.
