# --description--
|
|
|
|
The flipping game is a two player game played on a N by N square board.
|
|
|
|
Each square contains a disk with one side white and one side black.
|
|
|
|
The game starts with all disks showing their white side.
|
|
|
|
A turn consists of flipping all disks in a rectangle with the following properties: the upper right corner of the rectangle contains a white disk the rectangle width is a perfect square (1, 4, 9, 16, ...) the rectangle height is a triangular number (1, 3, 6, 10, ...)
|
|
|
|
Players alternate turns. A player wins by turning the grid all black.
|
|
|
|
Let W(N) be the number of winning moves for the first player on a N by N board with all disks white, assuming perfect play. W(1) = 1, W(2) = 0, W(5) = 8 and W(102) = 31395.
|
|
|
|
For N=5, the first player's eight winning first moves are:
|
|
|
|
Find W(106).
