HackerRank is new fun site was introduced in Hacker News today
This site allow user play a turn base "pick candies" game.
- You can start with any number of candies. (currently, a valided candies is from 6-2048)
- You and computer altenate turn
- You the first one play
- Each turn, you and computer can pick 1-5 candies
- Whe winner is the one get last candies
The algorithm is quite clear:
- With any number N which N % 6 != 0, you always have strategy to will by pick N % 6 candies
- If you start with N which N % 6 == 0, you always lose (because computer apply 1st algorith with you)
