BALTIC-WAY 2004 Problem 14

    We say that a pile is a set of four or more nuts. Two persons play the following game. They start with one pile of n≥4n \geq 4 nuts. During a move a player takes one of the piles that they have and split it into two non-empty subsets (these sets are not necessarily piles, they can contain an arbitrary number of nuts). If the player cannot move, he loses. For which values of nn does the first player have a winning strategy?
