Another of Sam Loyd: This is a betting game of the fifteenth century which probably comes from the history of the egg of Columbus.
is a game for two players. These must be placed alternately eggs of uniform size on a square cloth. When it has laid an egg, it should not be touched or moved by another. The game continues until the cloth is so full that it is impossible to place another egg and the person who arranged the last egg is the winner.
This was the gambling, the question now is: Columbus discovered as well, independent of the actions of the cloth there is a strategy that allows the first player ever to win the idea is to find the strategy or find another that leads to the same end. Greetings
