$A$ and $B$ take turns to pick integers: $A$ picks one integer and then $B$ picks $k > 1$ integers ($k$ being fixed). A player cannot pick a number that his opponent has picked. If $A$ has $5$ integers that form an arithmetic sequence, then $A$ wins. $B$'s goal is to prevent that from happening. Who has a winning strategy (after finite number of turns)? Does it depend on $k$?
