When I'm not exploring the depths of mathematics and Computer Science, I often find myself immersed in the high-octane world of Formula 1 or the finesse of cricket. There's something beautiful about analyzing the timing of a pit stop or the field placement in the final over. As an avid player of cricket myself, I appreciate the strategy and precision that both sports demand. Test cricket in particular brings me immense joy as it demands long and patient thinking and execution.
But beyond sports, what truly fascinates me are combinatorial games—puzzles of strategy and structure that lie at the intersection of logic, theory, and play. These games, often simple to define but deep in behavior, offer an elegant playground for mathematical reasoning and competitive challenge.
To gain a flavour of my love towards it, you can try out a simple game below!
Binary Split Game
Rules:
- You start with a single heap of size
n. - Each move, you must split any heap of size greater than or equal to 2 into two unequal positive integers.
- The player who cannot make a move loses.
