i never play a game in whole my life

The question is testing your ability to understand a game...

I had to spend WAY more time thinking about the logic of the game itself than the coding, which makes me question the validity of this as a coding exercise as opposed to an exercise in logic.

Can someone tell me if this is an error in the description or not?

"Player 2 matches the move. Now the towers are both 3 units tall.

Now Player 1 has only one move.

Player 1 removes 2 pieces leaving 1. Towers are 1 and 2 units tall. "

If there is no error in here, why after the move of Player 1, the towers are 1 and 2 units tall instead of 1 and 3?

This can be solved quite simply following this logic.

If n is even, player 2 will create pairs of towers, such that whenever player 1 moves, they make the same move on the towers pair. Since the number of towers is even, this will always result in them winning.

Alternatively, in n is odd, then player 2 only wins if the height of the tower is 1

def towerBreakers(n, m):
    # Write your code here
    return 2 if (n % 2 == 0 or m == 1) else 1
