\begin{goal}{}
To \emph{contradict the pumping property}, we prove the negation:
\begin{talign}
&\alert{\forall} m>0.\\[-.5ex]
&\qquad \alert{\exists} w\in L \text{ with } |w|\geq m.\\[-.5ex]
&\qquad\qquad \alert{\forall} x,y,z \text{ with } w=xyz,\; |xy| \leq m,\; |y|\geq 1.\\[-.5ex]
&\qquad\qquad\qquad \alert{\exists} i \geq 0.\, xy^iz \alert{\not\in} L
\end{talign}

Given is a language $L$. \pause We want to prove that $L$ is not regular.
\begin{enumerate}
\pause
\item Opponent picks \alert{$m$}.
\pause
\item We choose a word \alert{$w\in L$} with $|w|\geq m$.
\pause
\item Opponent picks \alert{$x,y,z$} with $w=xyz$, $|xy|\leq m$ and $|y|\geq 1$.
\pause
\item If we can find \alert{$i\geq 0$} such that \alert{$xy^iz\not\in L$}, then \emph{we win}.
\end{enumerate}
\pause
If we can always win, $L$ does not have the pumping property!

Who wins the game when $L$ is finite?
