Choosing Strips

Two players A A and B B play the following game:

A A divides an n × n n \times n square into strips of unit width (and various integer lengths). After that, player B B picks an integer k ( 1 k n ) k\ (1 \leq k \leq n) and removes all strips of length k . k. Let l ( n ) l(n) be the largest area that B B can remove regardless of how A A divides the square into strips.

Evaluate lim n l ( n ) n . \displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{l(n)}{n}.
