EXAMPLE
n=3 is a win for player II as follows: If player I takes 1 stick, II can take II sticks. Since there are no sticks left in the pile, player I has no legal move and loses. Similarly, if I takes 2 stick, II can take 1 stick.
Note that n=1 and n=2 are wins for player I, who can take all the sticks in the pile in one move.
