Quiz Trivia : Take stones with two players (Level 2)


It is a game that two players take some stones out of 33 stones in turn and the person who takes a stone remained at the end is defeated. The number of stones can be taken at a time is three or less one or more. Do you choose the first mover or second?




Second mover wins. In order to win, take stones to leave one stone last.
The number of stones can be taken is three or less one or more.
Thus, in the case of 33 pieces, the second mover takes stones so that the sum total of stones at a time becomes four.

If the first mover takes one, the second takes three and the first takes two, the second takes two.
In other words, it is 33 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 4 = 1.
