if when i solve an fe that is defined in the set of positive integer i found m|f(m) can i set f(m) =km such that k is not constant and of course it depends on m but after some work i find k=c st c is constant is this correct

The cells of a table are initially white. Alice and Bob play a game. First Alice paints of the fields in red. Then Bob chooses rows and columns from the table and paints all fields in them in black. Alice wins if there is at least one red field left. Find the least value of such that Alice can win the game no matter how Bob plays.

There is a rectangular plot of size . This has to be covered by three types of tiles - red, blue and black. The red tiles are of size , the blue tiles are of size and the black tiles are of size . Let denote the number of ways this can be done. For example, clearly because we can have either a red or a blue tile. Also since we could have tiled the plot as: two red tiles, two blue tiles, a red tile on the left and a blue tile on the right, a blue tile on the left and a red tile on the right, or a single black tile.
