NMC 2021 Problem 3

    Let nn be a positive integer. Alice and Bob play the following game. First, Alice picks n+1n + 1 subsets A1,...,An+1A_1,...,A_{n+1} of {1,...,2n}\{1,... ,2^n\} each of size 2n−12^{n-1} . Second, Bob picks n+1n + 1 arbitrary integers a1,...,an+1a_1,...,a_{n+1} . Finally, Alice picks an integer tt . Bob wins if there exists an integer 1≤i≤n+11 \le i \le n + 1 and s∈Ais \in A_i such that s+ai≡ts + a_i \equiv t (mod 2n2^n ). Otherwise, Alice wins. Find all values of nn where Alice has a winning strategy.
