Wythoff's Queen Picking Up Sticks | Game Theory 2 - Problem Solving

David continues exploring the technique of position analysis as a way to find winning strategies for mathematical games. He analyses two games: Picking Up Sticks, and Wythoff's Game. He also introduces the game of NIM, an apparently simple game which turns out to have very complex and interesting game play. We will try and find a winning strategy for NIM in the next video. In the meantime, you can have a go at playing it yourself here: www.transum.org/Software/Nim/.
