Description
Here's a fun game you can play with another person. The game starts on January 1. Each of two players takes turns calling out another date. The new date has to be a later date in the year with either the same month OR the same day (from January 1, a player can call out a later day in January or another month with the day 1 like February 1, March 1, etc.). The person who calls out December 31 wins the game. Who has the winning strategy, the first or second player? Does it matter if the game is played in a leap year?
