CWMO 2013 Problem 4

    There are nn coins in a row, n≥2n\geq 2 . If one of the coins is head, select an odd number of consecutive coins (or even 1 coin) with the one in head on the leftmost, and then flip all the selected coins upside down simultaneously. This is a movemove . No move is allowed if all nn coins are tails. Suppose m−1m-1 coins are heads at the initial stage, determine if there is a way to carry out ⌊2m3⌋\lfloor\frac {2^m}{3}\rfloor moves
