Problem Statement
Alice and Bob play a game on a complete graph with vertices. They take moves in turn with Alice beginning. At each move Alice directs one undirected edge of . At each move Bob chooses a positive integer number and after that directs undirected edges of . The game ends when all edges are directed. If there is some directed cycle in Alice wins. Determine whether Alice has a winning strategy.
