Hi I have this maths puzzle and I would love input, not mention I really need help/understanding!
You have a number grid with 1-100:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30
31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40
41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50
51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60
61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70
71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80
81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90
91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100
Each number can be crossed out only once.
The first player chooses and crosses out one even number less than 50.
The second player then crosses out one number that is either a factor or a multiple of the first
player’s number.
Then the first player crosses out one number that is either a factor or a multiple of the most recent
number crossed out by their opponent.
… and so on, in turn, until it is no longer possible to play.
The first player who is unable to move loses the game.
What is the strategy to win?
