Winning at Nim
For your first move, take the amount necessary to bring the number of remaining counters to the next
lower value of 6N+1, where N is any integer.

(The only way to make these statements logically consistent is to have statements 1, 3, 5 and 8 be
true, and the rest false. So the magic number is, by statement 8, 1 + 3 + 5 + 8 = 17.)

3. Leave with Melanie, but before waking her up.
