The water in the park fountain is fed through 13 valves. One day, A and B are cleaning the fountain when they come up with the following game. Taking it in turns to open one valve or two adjacent valves at a time, the one who opens the final spout will be the winner.
After the coin-toss, A starts and opens two valves. Can you help B win the game?
On your turn, make the one or two valves you want to open, then touch the arrow icon in the bottom-left.
Hints
Solution
Correct
Fount-astic!
As A begins by opening two valves, there are 11 left at the start of B's first turn.
In order to ensure a win, B must use this turn to open just one valve so that the remaining valves are divided into two groups of five.
