This is driving me nuts
I've been trying this for almost two hours:
http://www.ebaumsworld.com/pearl.shtml It's driving me nuts, I am missing something simple. How do you win this game? I've got work to do. |

I have a winning combination on my hands, where he started, and lost.
He took three out of the second smallest row, then I took one out of the shortest row. He took two remaining pearls out of the shortest row, and I took two out of the longest row. He took two out of the longest row, I took two out of the second longest row. He took one out of the second longest row, I took one out of the second shortest row. He took one out of the second longest row again, I took two out of the longest row. He was left with one pearl in the second longest row. By saying "second longest", "shortest" I refer to the rows by the number of pearls they originally have at the beginning of the game. I have to run now, I will try to analyze the data and come up with a winning strategy later. |

Damn it, I thought I had a stratedy. I am sitting here with a sheet of paper, and an Excell worksheet. And I won. I was about to post it, but then I decided to win a couple of more times, to make sure the strategy is right, and it is not. Sometimes I win, sometimes not. Oh well, back to the drawing borad.
