Problem Statement
teams take part in a football tournament. Every team plays exactly once against each other. A win gives two points, a draw a point, and a defeat no point. After the tournament it turns out that each team gets exactly half their points in the games against the bottom teams has won (in particular, each of these teams has won the made half their points against the remaining). Determine all possible values of , and give an example of such a tournament for these values.
