RIOPLATENSE 1999 Problem 3

Two players $A$ and $B$ play the following game: $A$ chooses a point, with integer coordinates, on the plane and colors it green, then $B$ chooses $10$ points of integer coordinates, not yet colored, and colors them yellow. The game always continues with the same rules; $A$ and $B$ choose one and ten uncolored points and color them green and yellow, respectively. a. The objective of $A$ is to achieve $111^2$ green points that are the intersections of $111$ horizontal lines and $111$ vertical lines (parallel to the coordinate axes). $B$ 's goal is to stop him. Determine which of the two players has a strategy that ensures you achieve your goal. b. The objective of $A$ is to achieve $4$ green points that are the vertices of a square with sides parallel to the coordinate axes. $B$ 's goal is to stop him. Determine which of the two players has a strategy that will ensure that they achieve their goal.
