Let
there be n buttons. A player may take 1 or 2 buttons MORE than his/her opponent
took. Player 1 can take either 1 or 2 buttons.
e.g.
28->27->25->21->15->7->0
(the
last player must take either 8 or 9, as only 7 remain, they must take them
all).
What
are the strategies for various n, with either last button
wins/loses?
