MATCH GAME
Here is a gate to be played with 12 matches. F.D.B. suggests that they be set out as follows ti! tit! Soe S! Two players are required. Taking turns, they remove any number of matches from any one of the groups of three, four, and five matches. The man who picks up the last match is the loser. Any player who knows the method can invariably win against players who do not. F.D.B.’s suggestion is that puzzlers should try to discover the method.
