On the $n$th turn of the game (starting with $n=1$) the following happens: * If $n$ is odd, Alice chooses a nonnegative real number $x_n$ such that $$x_1+x_2+\cdots+x_n\le\lambda n.$$ * If $n$ is even, Bazza chooses a nonnegative real number $x_n$ such that $$x_1^2+x_2^2+\cdots+x_n^2\le n.$$ If a player cannot choose a suitable number $x_n$, the game ends and the other player wins. If the game goes forever, neither player wins. All chosen numbers are known to both players. Determine all values of $\lambda$ for which Alice has a winning strategy and all those for which Bazza has a winning strategy. |
