    Hello! I've left my Java 8 solution here in case anyone has trouble.

    Just keep in mind: - GrundyNumbers. - Minimum Excludant. - GrundyNumber of multiple games is the XOR of the grundy numbers of the games. - You only have to evaluate a state once.

    Hey, I'm trying to solve this problem. I studied the combinational game theory but I find something confusing. If i have three pins. III mex{1,2} = 0 means LOSE. But I can knock down the middle pin and it will be IXI for the next player he/she can only knock either the left or right so I will it will be a WIN. Am I implementing the game theory wrong or...?
