NMC 2024 Problem 4
Alice and Bob are playing a game. First, Alice chooses a partition of the positive integers into a (not necessarily finite) set of sets, such that each positive integer is in exactly one of the sets in . Then Bob does the following operation a finite number of times. Choose a set not previously chosen, and let be the set of all positive integers dividing at least one element in . Then add the set (possibly the empty set) to . Bob wins if there are two equal sets in after he has done all his moves, otherwise, Alice wins. Determine which player has a winning strategy.
