A friend sent me this lovely puzzle.
There are 63 pebbles in a bowl : there are two players : each player can take any count of pebbles from 1-5. If you are the first mover : what is the first pick to ensure u get the last pick as well?
My blog posts are a reflection of my thoughts, beliefs, stuff that I figured out. It's quite possible that there are articles by other authors that were perhaps written much earlier, some of which align with my thoughts and some that don't. Pls read the "About Me" para to understand more.
