finds a new point, he is detected and cannot carry out his mission. This game has a
trivial solution when s
In fact, player II can choose B filling up two columns,
which is an optimal strategy for him and the value of the game is zero. The game
satisfies hypothesis of Theorem 2 . Therefore, an optimal strategy for player I is the
uniform distribution on X

. To obtain an optimal strategy for player II we must
determine B 0 in such a way that

To solve the game when s
<
2 m , we have to solve the following problem. Given
integers s and m such that s
<
2 m , find the minimum of the function

j = i ( m s j ) ,
f
(
s 1 ,
s 2 ,...,
s n )=
(3.14)
for s 1 ,

s n integers satisfying

In the following
[

denote the integer part of x . To obtain the solution for the
OEIG when n
=
2 we will need the next result.
Lemma 1. If n
=
2 , the minimum of the function f
=
f
(
s 1 ,
s 2 )
defined by ( 3.14 )is
obtained with the values
s 1 =
s
[
s
/
2
] ,
s 2 =[
s
/
2
] .
Proof. Given integers s 1 ,
s 2 satisfying ( 3.15 ), the symmetry of the function ( 3.14 )
allows us to assume that
s 1
s 2
We will prove that either s 1 =
s 1 and s 2 =
s 2 or f
(
s 1 ,
s 2 )
is not the minimum of f .
If s 1
s 2 =
0or s 1
s 2 =

=

2. If s 1

we can build
s 1 =

and compute the difference

f
(

f
(

) >
0
,
therefore f
(
s 1 ,
s 2 )
is not a minimum and the proof is complete.
