**Euclid's Game Overview**

2. **Euclid’s Game** starts with two unequal positive numbers on the board. For this problem, assume that permissible starting numbers are in the range [1, 50]. Two players move in turn. On each move, a player has to write on the board a positive number equal to the difference of two numbers already on the board; this number must be different from all the numbers already written on the board. The player who cannot move loses the game.

   a. Give three examples of a ‘game tree’ for Euclid’s Game for any pair of numbers you choose.
   
   b. Should you choose to move first or second in this game?
