SE-SKOLORNAS 2008 Problem 5

    Anna and Orjan play the following game: they start with a positive integer n>1n>1 , Anna writes it as the sum of two other positive integers, n=n1+n2n = n_1+n_2 . Orjan deletes one of them, n1n_1 or n2n_2 . If the remaining number is larger than 11 , the process is repeated, i.e. Anna writes it as the sum of two positive integers, n3+n4n_3+n_4 , Orjan deletes one of them etc. The game ends when the last number is 11 . Orjan is the winner if there are two equal numbers among the numbers he has deleted, otherwise Anna wins. Who is winning the game if n = 2008 and they both play optimally?
