28 In the beginning, there is a pair of positive integers (m, n) written on the board. Alice and Bob
are playing a turn-based game with the following move. At each turn, a player erases one of
the numbers written on the board, and writes a different positive number not less than the half
of the erased one. If a player cannot write a new number at some turn, he/she loses the game.

36 A chess club consists of at least 10 and at most 50 members, where G of them are female,
and B of them are male with G > B. In a chess tournament, each member plays with any
other member exactly one time. At each game, the winner gains 1, the loser gains 0 and both
player gains 1/2 point when a tie occurs. At the tournament, it is observed that each member
gained exactly half of his/her points from the games played against male members. How many
different values can B take?
