Let \( N \) be a positive integer and consider the set \( S = \{1, 2, \ldots, N\} \).

Two players alternate moves. On each turn, the current player must select a nonempty subset \( T \subseteq S \) of numbers not previously chosen such that for every distinct \( x, y \in T \), neither \( x \) divides \( y \) nor \( y \) divides \( x \).

After selecting \( T \), all multiples of every element in \( T \), including those in \( T \) itself, are removed from \( S \).

The game continues with the reduced set \( S \) until no moves are possible.
Determine, for each \( N \), which player has a winning strategy if any

Note: It might be wrong or maybe too easy.

Let ABC be an acute triangle inscribed in circle $\Omega$. Let $X$ be the midpoint of the arc $\overarc{BC}$ not containing $A$ and define $Y, Z$ similarly. Show that the orthocenter of $XYZ$ is the incenter $I$ of $ABC$.

For an $n \times n$ table filled with natural numbers, we say it is a divisor table if:
- the numbers in the $i$-th row are exactly all the divisors of some natural number $r_i$,
- the numbers in the $j$-th column are exactly all the divisors of some natural number $c_j$,
- $r_i \ne r_j$ for every $i \ne j$.

A prime number $p$ is given. Determine the smallest natural number $n$, divisible by $p$, such that there exists an $n \times n$ divisor table, or prove that such $n$ does not exist.

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with incenter $I$ and let $D$ be an arbitrary point on the side $BC$. Let the line through $D$ perpendicular to $BI$ intersect $CI$ at $E$. Let the line through $D$ perpendicular to $CI$ intersect $BI$ at $F$. Prove that the reflection of $A$ across the line $EF$ lies on the line $BC$.

Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle. Let $A'$ be the reflection of point $A$ over the line $BC$. Let $O$ and $H$ be the circumcenter and the orthocenter of triangle $ABC$, respectively, and let $E$ be the midpoint of segment $OH$. Let $D$ and $L$ be the points where the reflection of line $AA'$ with respect to line $OA'$ intersects the circumcircle of triangle $ABC$, where point $D$ lies on the arc $BC$ not containing $A$. If \( M \) is a point on the line \( BC \) such that \( OM \perp AD \), prove that \( \angle MAD = \angle EAL \).

Let $ABC$ be a triangle. Circle $\Gamma$ passes through $A$, meets segments $AB$ and $AC$ again at points $D$ and $E$ respectively, and intersects segment $BC$ at $F$ and $G$ such that $F$ lies between $B$ and $G$. The tangent to circle $BDF$ at $F$ and the tangent to circle $CEG$ at $G$ meet at point $T$. Suppose that points $A$ and $T$ are distinct. Prove that line $AT$ is parallel to $BC$.

The excircle opposite to $A$ touches $\overline{BC}$ at point $E$. Point $Q\ne I$ on the circumcircle of $\triangle MIN$ is such that $\overline{QI}\parallel\overline{BC}$. Prove that the lines $\overline{AE}$ and $\overline{QN}$ meet on $\Omega$.
