## Description
|
|
<section id='description'>
|
|
Two players, Anton and Bernhard, are playing the following game.
|
|
There is one pile of n stones.
|
|
The first player may remove any positive number of stones, but not the whole pile.
|
|
Thereafter, each player may remove at most twice the number of stones his opponent took on the previous move.
|
|
The player who removes the last stone wins.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E.g. n=5
|
|
If the first player takes anything more than one stone the next player will be able to take all remaining stones.
|
|
If the first player takes one stone, leaving four, his opponent will take also one stone, leaving three stones.
|
|
The first player cannot take all three because he may take at most 2x1=2 stones. So let's say he takes also one stone, leaving 2. The second player can take the two remaining stones and wins.
|
|
So 5 is a losing position for the first player.
|
|
For some winning positions there is more than one possible move for the first player.
|
|
E.g. when n=17 the first player can remove one or four stones.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Let M(n) be the maximum number of stones the first player can take from a winning position at his first turn and M(n)=0 for any other position.
|
|
|
|
|
|
∑M(n) for n≤100 is 728.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Find ∑M(n) for n≤1018.
|
|
Give your answer modulo 108.
