Question

This is a graph-based Algorithms Question

Q1 – A simple game using paper clips is played as follows (for 2 players): the game
starts with one heap of paper clips. Each player, in turn, can either split a heap into
two heaps (of same or different sizes), or take 1 or 2 paper clips from one of the
heaps. The player taking the last paper clip loses the game. Draw a game graph for
this game, with only 4 paper clips at the beginning. Identify the winning and losing
positions (for the player who is about to play). Is the first player to start going to
win or lose?
