====== The Game Of Scoring Misere ======
==== Problem ====
A [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mis%C3%A8re#Mis.C3.A8re_game|misere game]] is a game played by the regular rules with one change; whoever wins the game according the regular rules is the loser. Consider again [[the game of Scoring]], but this time we'll play it as a misere game. 
  - For which values of $n$ does the first player have a winning strategy when playing misere, provided each player must take 1, 2, or 3 objects? 
  - For which values of $n$ does the first player have a winning strategy when playing misere, provided each player must take 1, 2, 3, or 4 objects? 
  - If instead a player must take between 1 and $k$ objects, conjecture the values of $n$ for which the first player has a winning strategy when playing misere.

%The Game of Scoring Misere
\item A misere game is a game played by the regular rules with one change; whoever wins the game according the regular rules is the loser. Consider again the game of \emph{Scoring}, but this time we'll play it as a misere game. 
 \begin{enumerate}
  \item For which values of $n$ does the first player have a winning strategy when playing misere, provided each player must take 1, 2, or 3 objects.? 
  \item For which values of $n$ does the first player have a winning strategy when playing misere, provided each player must take 1, 2, 3, or 4 objects.? 
  \item If instead a player must take between 1 and $k$ objects, conjecture the values of $n$ for which the first player has a winning strategy when playing misere.
 \end{enumerate}
