UA-UMO 2018 Problem 4

    Two players - Andriy and Olesya play the following game. On a table there is a round cake, which is cut by one of the players into 2n2n ( n>1n>1 ) sectors (pieces), pairwise distinct in weights. Weight of each piece is known to both players. Then they take pieces according to the following rules. At first, Olesya takes 11 piece, then Andriy takes 22 pieces such that the remaining pieces form a sector. Then they in turns take 22 pieces such that after each turn the remaining pieces form a sector. In their last move, one of the players takes one last piece. Each of the players aims to get more of a cake than the opponent. For which nn can Olesya cut the cake such that she wins if in her first move she takes the smallest piece?
