In spite of the darkness, she can make out the difference between a hat and a glove. She takes out an item out of the closet only if she is sure that if it is a glove. How many gloves must she take out to make sure she has a pair of each color? a)50 b)8 c)60 d)42 ans:60 There can be lots of logic for this, but approach the simplest one so that we approach to one of the solutions. Suppose the lady first picks 32 Red gloves, and then 24 Yellow gloves. The next pair she pics will be one Yellow and One Blue which does not make a pair. The next two will be blue gloves. So she make a total of 32+24+1+1+2 = 60 picks. 20. One day Rapunzel meets Dwarf and Byte in the Forest of forgetfulness. She knows that Dwarf lies on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and tells the truth on the other days of the week.

Given the expression N=9+X+Y-Z Where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9), Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanu would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable. Assuming both play to their optimal strategies, the value of N at the end of the game would be. ans.- in this problem there is 3 patern 1st X+Y-Z=11 X*Y-Z=18 X-Y-Z=2 u just add the to the no given. 6.- For the FIFA world cup, Paul the octopus has been predicting the winner of each match with amazing success. It is rumored that in a match between 2 teams A and B, Paul picks A with the same probability as A's chances of winning. Let's assume such rumors to be true and that in a match between Ghana and Bolivia, Ghana the stronger team has a probability of 2/3 of winning the game. What is the probability that Paul will correctly pick the winner of the Ghana-Bolivia game? ans.- hare the answer is - 2/3*2/3+1/3*1/3=5/9 7.-After the typist writes 12 letters and addresses 12 envelopes, she inserts the letters randomly into the envelopes (1 letter per envelope).

You are allowed to move the balls between the

boxes so that when you choose a box at random and a ball at random from the chosen box, the probability of getting a red ball is maximized. This maximum probability is ans.- the tricks is - 1/2*1+(n-1)/(n-1+m)*1/2 here n is the no. which have to be max. and m is the another no. here m is green ball and n is red ball.here ans is 14/19 9.- A and B play a game of dice between them. The dice consist of colors on their faces (instead of numbers). When the dice are thrown, A wins if both show the same color; otherwise B wins. One die has 4 red face and 2 blue faces. How many red and blue faces should the other die have if the both players have the same chances of winning? ans.- here the ans is 3red and 3 blue. 10.- On planet zorba, a solar blast has melted the ice caps on its equator. 8 years after the ice melts, tiny plantoids called echina start growing on the rocks. echina grows in the form of a circle and the relationship between the diameter of this circle and the age of echina is given by the formula d = 4 * sqrt (t 8)for t = 8 Where the represents the diameter in mm and t the number of years since the solar blast. Jagan recorded the time of some echina at a particular spot is 24 years then what is diameter? ans- this is the simple problem just put the value of t and find d. 11.- A circular dartboard of radius 1 foot is at a distance of 20 feet from you. You throw a dart at it and it hits the dartboard at some point Q in the circle. What is the probability that Q is closer to the center of the circle than the periphery? ans.- here the tricks is (n/2)^2/n^2 here n is the radius of circle. 12.- 36 people {a1, a2, ..., a36} meet and shake hands in a circular fashion. In other words, there are totally 36 handshakes involving the pairs, {a1, a2}, {a2, a3}, ..., {a35, a36}, {a36, a1}. Then size of the smallest set of people such that the rest have shaken hands with at least one person in the set is. ans.- hare the tricks is if the handshake is circular and given no is even-then n/2 if odd then n/3. and if hand shake is non circular then n-1. 13.- Alice and Bob play the following coins-on-a-stack game. 20 coins are stacked one above the other. One of them is a special (gold) coin and the rest are ordinary coins. The goal is to bring the gold coin to the top by repeatedly moving the topmost coin to another position in the

stack. Alice starts and the players take turns. A turn consists of moving the coin on the top to a position i below the top coin (0 = i = 20). We will call this an i-move (thus a 0-move implies doing nothing). The proviso is that an i-move cannot be repeated; for example once a player makes a 2-move, on subsequent turns neither player can make a 2-move. If the gold coin happens to be on top when it's a player's turn then the player wins the game. Initially, the gold coinis the third coin from the top. ans.- Ans is in order to win, Alice's first move should be a 1-move.(This is the final ans.) 14.- The citizens of planet nigiet are 8 fingered and have thus developed their decimal system in base 8. A certain street in nigiet contains 1000 (in base 8) buildings numbered 1 to 1000. How many 3s are used in numbering these buildings? ans.- here the tricks is 8*8+8*8+8*8=192 (here the base is 8)if the base is n then n*n+n*n+n*n. 15.- Six friends decide to share a big cake. Since all of them like the cake, they begin quarreling who gets to first cut and have a piece of the cake. One friend suggests that they have a blindfold friend choose from well shuffled set of cards numbered one to six. You check and find that this method works as it should simulating a fair throw of a die. You check by performing multiple simultaneous trials of picking the cards blindfold and throwing a die. You note that the number shown by the method of picking up a card and throwing a real world die, sums to a number between 2 and 12. Which total would be likely to appear more often 8,9 or 10? a) 8 b) All are equally likely c) 9 d) 10 ans.- here the ans is 8. because 8 comes in 3 types(4+4,5+3,6+2),9 comes in 2 types(5+4,6+3),and 10 comes 2 types(5+5,6+4). 16.- How many of 14 digit numbers we can make with 1,2,3,4,5 that are divisible by 4.

There are 5 materials to make a perfume: Lilac, Balsamic, Lemon, and Woody and MI mosaic. To make a perfume that is in demand the following conditions are to be followed: Lilac and Balsamic go together. Woody and MI mosaic go together; Woody and Balsamic never go together. Lemon can be added with any material. (Actually they had also mentioned how much amount of one can be added with how much quantity of the other; but that is not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume except: 1) Balsamic and Lilac 2) Woody and Lemon 3) MI mosaic and Woody 4) MI mosaic and Lilac Solution: First is acceptable for perfume since balsamic and liliac are given to be present and second is also acceptable as lemon can be added with any of four, third is also acceptable as given in question left fourth is not acceptable as MI mosaic is always with woody and balsamic is always with liliac. Therefore combination of MI mosaic and liliac cant occur because woody and balsamic are never together Q14: Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression N = 15 + X*(Y Z) Where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9), Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanu would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable. Assuming both play to their optimal strategies, the value of N at the end of the game would be? Note: For this type of questions: x+y-z=11 x-y-z=2 x*(y+z)=18 What should be the approach to do such type of prob? Solution: This question was repeated 3 times for different cases Yeah TCS has this 3 type of questions where there is x+y-z,=11 x-y-z ==2 and x*(y+z)=18 If an integer is added to any of the above equations just add the integer to the value of the equations. For example in this case it would be 15+18=33. (don't ask me for explanations why this value comes for those equations. It took me some gruelling sessions to understand that)

Dont go in deep just take overview of all subjects. HR round: Then for HR interview you must prepare yourself well. Some key questions that are asked are: 1. Strengths, weakness, Ans: You should prepare your strengths and weakness a few days earlier from interview. And you should also make examples of your strengths and weakness. Like when you say you are a good learner then you should be capable of giving a relevanr real life example where you can say you was a good learner. 2. Hobbies Ans: Dont make fake hobbies. Always make real hobbies that you actually do in free time. Because they are going to ask a lot of questions from your hobbies part. Like my hobbies include Photography so they asked me which camera do you use, features of that camera, latest photo you shoot, what you do with the photos, etc. So be prepare. 3. Extra co-curricular activities Ans: Explain work you have done apart from your studies. 4. Tell me about yourself: Ans: Tell your whole Bio data and try to bring fluency while speaking about yourself. 5. What experience do you have in this field? 6. What do you know about this organization? Ans: This is most important part. You should search about TCS and know latest happenings, awards won by TCS and a little history of TCS. You can go to www.wikipedia.org for that information. 7. Are you a team player? 8. Why should we hire you? Ans: Here also you need to tell your strength. And how company is going to benefit from it. 9. What is your greatest strength? 10. Tell me about your dream job?

11. What is more important to you: the money or the work? 12. Are you willing to work overtime? Nights? Weekends? 13. Would you be willing to relocate if required? 14. Do you have any questions for TCS? Ans: This is also important to ask a question at last of the interview so prepare a question in your mind before going to interview. And never ask about Payscale, working hours and all these cheap thinkings that comes in your mind. You can go for socialism if you like social services. And many other questions are there. But what is more important is, to ask a question because that shows your interest in company. 1) (1/3) of a number is 3 more than the (1/6) of the same number? a) 6 b) 16 c) 18 d) 21 Ans- x/3=x/6 +3 ..solve ans is 18 2) There are two pipes A and B. If A filled 10 liters in an hour, B can fill 20 liters in same time. Likewise B can fill 10, 20, 40, 80, 160. If B filled in 1/16 of a tank in 3 hours, how much time will it take to fill the tank completely? a) 9 B) 8 c) 7 d) 6 This question repeated two times in my paper Ans: (b) these type of que are repeated frequently but the numeric values change.Simple approach is- count the number of hours taken to fill the part of the tank from the given part ie. Initially the tank is 1/32 then after 1 hour it will become 1/16 then 1/8 then then then 1. Here 1 is the state when the tank is full so the number of hours is (1+1+1+1+1)=5. Now add this number of hours to the given time ie 5+3=8 3) A lady has fine gloves and hats in her closet- 18 blue, 32 red, and 25 yellow. The lights are out and it is totally dark. In spite of the darkness, she can make out the difference between a hat and a glove. She takes out an item out of the closet only if she is sure that if it is a glove. How many gloves must she take out to make sure she has a pair of each color? a) 50 b) 8 c) 60 d) 42 Ans: Do not get trapped in these type of questions .a very simple trick to solve these type of question is just see the max and the middle value of gloves and hats ie 32 and 25 . just add max+min_values +2 or 1 or 3 ie 32+25+3=60 the answer will definitely fall in this range as 60 here 4) Middle- earth is a fictional land inhabited by hobbits, elves, dwarves and men. The hobbits and elves are peaceful creatures that prefer slow, silent lives and appreciate nature and art. The dwarves and the men engage in physical games. The game is as follows. A tournament is one where out of the two teams that play a match, the one that loses get eliminated. The matches are played in different rounds, where in every round; half of the teams get eliminated from the tournament. If there are 8 rounds played in knock out tournament, how many matches were played? a) 257 b) 256 c) 72 d) 255

Ans: (255) there are two varieties of this type of que in one they ask about the number of matches in the first round so solution to that is 2^(number of rounds)ie 2^8=256 another variety is the number of matches played in the tournament so ans is 2^(number of teams )-1 ..ie 2^8 -1=255 5) Ferrari S.P.A is an Italian sports car manufacturer based in Marane llo, Italy. Founded by Enzo Ferrari in 1928 as Scuderia Ferrari, the company sponsored drivers and manufactured race cars before moving into production of street-legal vehicles in 1947 as Ferrari S.P.A. Throughout its history, the company has been noted for its continued participation in racing, especially in Formula One where it has employed great success .Rohit once bought a Ferrari. It could go 4 times as fast as Mohan's old Mercedes. If the speed of Mohan's Mercedes is 46 km/hr and the distance traveled by the Ferrari is 953 km, find the total time taken for Rohit to drive that distance. a) 20.72 b) 5.18 c) 238.25 d) 6.18 Ans very simple question approach is time =dist./speed ie 953/(4*35)=6.18 6) how many 8 digit numbers are possible by using the digits 1,2,3,4,5 which are divisible by 4 if repetition of digits is allowed? Ans: (78125) simple trick to these type of que is that 5^(number of digits-1) ie 5^(8-1) i.e. 5^(7)=78125 By maths first 6 digits of the 8 digit number can be filled in by using any 5 digits given so it come out (5*5*5*5*5*5) and last two must be divisible by 4 ie (44,52,32,12,24) are the 5 possibilities. So the anwer is (5*5*5*5*5*5*5=5^7) 7) Hare in the other. The hare starts after the tortoise has covered 1/5 of its distance and that too leisurely3. A hare and a tortoise have a race along a circle of 100 yards diameter. The tortoise goes in one direction and the. The hare and tortoise meet when the hare has covered only 1/8 of the distance. By what factor should the hare increase its speed so as to tie the race? a) 37.80 b)8 c) 40 d) 5 Ans: 37.80 8) Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression N=9+X+Y-Z Where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9), Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanu would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable. Assuming both play to their optimal strategies, the value of N at the end of the game would be a) 0 b) 27 c) 18 d) 20 Ans: Do not get trapped in this que i am giving a very short trick that guarantees 100% correct solution just add the following number if the que contains the following changes X*(Y-Z) then add 18 to the given constant to get N.ie 9+18=27 X+(Y-Z) = then add the 12 ie 9+11=20

X-(Y-Z) is then add 2 ie 9+2=11 9) For the FIFA world cup, Paul the octopus has been predicting the winner of each match with amazing success. It is rumored that in a match between 2 teams A and B, Paul picks A with the same probability as A's chances of winning.

He bought 28 purple marbles as her wife was fond of marbles. He also bought 21greem marbles. While coming out of the shop on the way he also bought 24 red, 42 yellow and 12 pink marbles and he put them all in a bag. When he was returning back to the home a lightning occurred and suddenly due to some reasons the red, green, and yellow balls got converted into white color. But in spite of this Mr. Beans decided to give few marbles to his lovely wife. So, how many times he should put his hand in the bag so that he can gift his wife at least one ball of each color. Ans: logic is same as I told in the question 3 i.e 24+42+2=68

18) Alice and Bob play the following coins-on-a-stack game. 50 coins are stacked one above the other. One of them is a special (gold) coin and the rest are ordinary coins. The goal is to bring the gold coin to the top by repeatedly moving the topmost coin to another position in the stack.Alice starts and the players take turns. A turn consists of moving the coin on the top to a position i below the top coin (0 i 20). We will call this an i-move (thus a 0move implies doing nothing). The proviso is that an i-move cannot be repeated; for example once a player makes a 2-move, on subsequent turns neither player can make a 2-move. If the gold coin happens to be on top when it's a player's turn then the player wins the game. Initially, the gold coinis the third coin from the top. Then a) In order to win, Alices first move should be a 0-move. b) In order to win, Alices first move should be a 1-move. c) Alice has no winning strategy. d) In order to win, Alices first move can be a 0-move or a 1-move Ans: (d) In this type of question if the coin is at the 3 position (as here )then the answer is d otherwise at the 1 or second position of the coin the answer is always. No chance of winning ie C 19) There is a planet oz . The people there are four fingered and reside in 4 dimensional space and thus the currency used by its residents are 3 dimensional objects. The rupees notes are cubical in shape while their coins are spherical. However the coin minting machinery lays out some stipulations on the size of the coins. The diameter of the coins should be at least 16mm and not exceed 64mm Given a coin, the diameter of the next larger coin is at least 50% greater. The diameter of the coin must always be an integer. You are asked to design a set of coins of different diameters with these requirements and your goal is to design as many coins as possible. How many coins can you design? Ans: 4 At least 16 coins so the series is 16, (16+16/2)= 24 , (24+24/2)=36, (36+36/2)=54. Now next value of coin exceeds 64 so the number of coins is 4 20) 21 people meet and shake hands. The maximum number of handshakes possible if there is to be no cycle of handshakes is (A cycle of handshakes is a sequence of people a1, a2, , aK such that the pairs (a1, a2), (a2, a3), , (a (k-1), a k) , (ak, a1) shake hands. a) 17 b) 18 c) 19 d) 20 Ans: n 21) 10 suspects are rounded by the police and questioned about a bank robbery.

Finally our technical started at 7 in the evening .there were around 9 panels in the conference hall taking the technical interviews I had to wait for a long time and my technical started at around 10 pm in the night. My TR was more of HR than the technical one. Luckily my TR came out to be from my city itself God favored and the luck! Questions asked from me were: Me: Good evening, sir TR: Good evening, take your seat. TR: How was your day. You must have waited for a long time Me: I had a great day, this morning I took my written test and, gave my best. I think have scored well and cleared it. It is my first interview so I liked waiting for a long time because I was waiting anxiously for this time. TR: Ok, Abhinav tell me why have you written basics of C++, C and java in your resume Me: sir. I had studied C++ and c in the class 12 as it was in my syllabus so I had acquired basic knowledge of that and recently I have studied java and the other modules are yet to finish so I have written basic word. But sir I have done a project in java recently and did well in it.

10) Alice and Bob play the following coins-on-a-stack game. 100 coins are stacked one above the other. One of them is a special (gold) coin and the rest are ordinary coins. The goal is to bring the gold coin to the top by repeatedly moving the topmost coin to another position in the stack. Alice starts and the players take turns. A turn consists of moving the coin on the top to a position i below the top coin (0 = i = 100). We will call this an i-move (thus a 0-move implies doing nothing). The proviso is that an i-move cannot be repeated; for example once a player makes a 2-move, on subsequent turns neither player can make a 2-move. If the gold coin happens to be on top when its a players turn then the player wins the game. A. Alice has no winning strategy. B. Initially, the gold coinis the third coin from the top. Then C.

Given the expression N=9+X+Y-Z

Where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9), Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanu would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable. Assuming both play to their optimal strategies, the value of N at the end of the game would be a) 0 b) 27 c) 18 d) 20 The Q's concept is same but the equation of N's is changing. 20-Alice and Bob play the following coins-on-a-stack game. 20 coins are stacked one above the other. One of them is a special (gold) coin and the rest are ordinary coins. The goal is to bring the gold coin to the top by repeatedly moving the topmost coin to another position in the stack. Alice starts and the players take turns. A turn consists of moving the coin on the top to a position i below the top coin (0 = i = 20). We will call this an i-move (thus a 0-move implies doing nothing). The proviso is that an i-move cannot be repeated; for example once a player makes a 2-move, on subsequent turns neither player can make a 2-move. If the gold coin happens to be on top when it's a player's turn then the player wins the game. Initially, the gold coinis the third coin from the top. Then a) In order to win, Alice's first move should be a 1-move. b) In order to win, Alice's first move should be a 0-move. c) In order to win, Alice's first move can be a 0-move or a 1-move. d) Alice has no winning strategy. 21-For the FIFA world cup, Paul the octopus has been predicting the winner of each match with amazing success.

Two of the coins are special and the rest are ordinary. Alok starts and the players take turns removing an ordinary coin of their choice from the circle and bringing the other coins closer until they again form a (smaller) circle. The goal is to bring the special coins adjacent to each other and the first player to do so wins the game. Initially the special coins are separated by two ordinary coins O1 and O2. Which of the following is true?

a) In order to win, Alok should remove O1 on his first turn. b) In order to win, Alok should remove one of the coins different from O1 and O2 on his first turn. c) In order to win, Alok should remove O2 on his first turn. d) Alok has no winning strategy. 24-On planet zorba, a solar blast has melted the ice caps on its equator. 8 years after the ice melts, tiny plantoids called echina start growing on the rocks. echina grows in the form of a circle and the relationship between the diameter of this circle and the age of echina is given by the formula d = 4 * sqrt (t 8)for t = 8 Where the represents the diameter in mm and t the number of years since the solar blast.

16/32 in 30 32/32 in 31 6. lady has fine gloves and hats in her closet- 14 blue, 20 red, and 18 yellow. The lights are out and it is totally dark. In spite of the darkness, she can make out the difference between a hat and a glove. She takes out an item out of the closet only if she is sure that if it is a glove. How many gloves must she take out to make sure she has a pair of each color? a) 50 b) 8 c) 40 d) 42 Solution: This is the most repeated question in Tcs so prepare it well. It has no logic but its answer comes like this Firstly add 2 max values i.e 20+18=38 Then add 2 to answer i.e. 38+2=40 so this is the answer.

7.There is a square. 5 circles are kept on the diagonal of the square such that the two extreme circles touch the two sides of the square.each circle has equal radius.find the ratio of side of hte squae to that of the radius. ans: diagonal=(root 2)*a , a= side of the square. The additon of diameters of all the circles is equal to (root2)*a 2*7*r=(root2)*a But the two extreme circles wiil not touch at the corners so we have to find those distances. x=distanse at on corner=r*((root2)-1) But toal distance=2*x due to 2nd corner Hence tatladistance=2*x+2*7*r or 2*x+2*7*r=(root2)*a Now you can find the ratio easily. I think that this is oneof the most conceptual question in the paper. 8. A Sheet of paper has statements number from 1 to 20. Statement n says "At least n of the statements on this sheet are true". Which statements are true and which are false. a. The even no statements are true and the odd no statements are false. b. The 1st 13 statements are false and rest are true. c. The 1st 6 statements are true and rest are false d. The odd no statements are true and even no. are false. Solution: This type of question was repeated 3 times but for different case. For this type of Questions, follow this: At least- Ist half are true, Last half are false Exactly- Last second one is true or (N-1)th Statement is true Almost- All are true. So correct answer is (C) 9. n the planet Oz, there are 8 days in a week- Sunday to Saturday and another day called Oz day. There are 36 hours in a day and each hour has 90 min while each minute has 60 sec. As on earth, the hour hand covers the dial twice every day. Find the approximate angle between the hands of a clock on Oz when the time is 12:40 am. Solution: 89 deg 36 hours a day mane the clk will be of 18 hours. 18 hours covrs 360 deg Thus 1 hour covrs 20 deg 12 hours covers 12*20=240 deg ekhon,1 hour in 90 min thus in 90min the hour hand goes 20deg tai, for 1min hr hand goes 2/9deg sei jonne, for 40 min hour hnd goes (2/9)*40deg=80/9deg=9deg(approx) thus hr hand covrs total of 240+9=249deg now min hand covrs=40*4=160deg

(karon, 90min=360deg 1min=4deg) hus angle betwn them 249-160=89deg 10. Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression N = 15 + X*(Y Z) Where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9), Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanu would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable. Assuming both play to their optimal strategies, the value of N at the end of the game would be? Note: For this type of questions: x+y-z=11 x-y-z=2 x*(y+z)=18 What should be the approach to do such type of prob?

There was negative marking for each incorrect question and calculator was allowed. For preparation you can refer quantitative aptitude by R.S. AGGARWAL.

Chapters( Probability, Problems on Ages, Pipes and Cisterns, Ratio and Proportion some logical questions, blood relations, percentages, profit-loss, area, direction sense, average, numbers, time & work ,time & distance, prob on train, boat & stream ,allegation & mixture, simple interest) Tips to crack written test: 1. Be cool, dont get irritated to see long questions or if you are unable to solve any question. 2. Skip the question if you are unable to solve it in 10-12 section. you can come back to that question at the end. 3. If you have not sufficient time, first read the last line of the question, if it is numerical based, then read only numerical data, leave first few lines. . Time is only constrain. So read within 15 second if you got clue then solve it else solved at last if you have time. 48.

Q/25 Alice and Bob play the following coins-on-a-stack game. 20 coins are stacked one above the other. One of them is a special (gold) coin and the rest are ordinary coins. The goal is to bring the gold coin to the top by repeatedly moving the topmost coin to another position in the stack. Alice starts and the players take turns. A turn consists of moving the coin on the top to a position i below the top coin (0 i 20). We will call this an i-move (thus a 0-move implies doing nothing). The proviso is that an i-move cannot be repeated; for example once a player makes a 2-move, on subsequent turns neither player can make a 2-move. If the gold coin happens to be on top when it's a player's turn then the player wins the game. Initially, the gold coinis the third coin from the top. Then In order to win, Alice's first move can be a 0-move or a 1-move. Alice has no winning strategy. In order to win, Alice's first move should be a 1-move. In order to win, Alice's first move should be a 0-move.
