The Game .312
Status: SOLVED [4 February 2003]
Normal play sequence eventually periodic of length two:
1 2 3 4 5 6 ...
1 2 0 2 0 1 ...
the last two values (0 and 1) repeat themselves indefinitely.
Misere play game Values:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
1 2 2+ g0={2+,1} 2+ 2++ g1={g0,2++} 2++ 2+++ g2={g1,2+++} 2+++ 2++++ g3={g2,2++++}, ...
Single heap genus sequence:
1 2 3 4 5 6 ...
1^{03131} 2^{20} 0 ^{02} 2^{1420} 0^{02} 1^{13} ...
which is also periodic of length two (the last two values repeat indefinitely).
How to play misere .312:
Except for the heap of size 4, we can pretend that individual games are adders:
1 3 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
:1 :2 :4 A :4 :5 :4 :5 :4 :5 etc (period 2)
Where A (the heap of size 4) is the game g0 of genus 2^{1420} and genus (A+A) = 0^{1202)
We can pretend that
A + A = :0.
