%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}
\end{problem}
