Match Game

Professor Reginald laid 40 matches out on the table and explained the game to his colleague Kathy.

Each player in turn takes 1, 3, or 5 matches. The winner is the one who takes the last match. Kathy goes first and takes 3 matches.

Who do you think is going to win this game, Kathy or Reginald?

  1. Reginald - choices are odd numbers so the second person is always going to go last.
