OBM 1987 Problem 3

    Two players play alternately. The first player is given a pair of positive integers (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) . Each player must replace the pair (xn,yn)(x_n, y_n) that he is given by a pair of non-negative integers (xn+1,yn+1)(x_{n+1}, y_{n+1}) such that xn+1=min(xn,yn)x_{n+1} = min(x_n, y_n) and yn+1=max(xn,yn)−k⋅xn+1y_{n+1} = max(x_n, y_n)- k\cdot x_{n+1} for some positive integer kk . The first player to pass on a pair with yn+1=0y_{n+1} = 0 wins. Find for which values of x1/y1x_1/y_1 the first player has a winning strategy.
