Beat your friend. Play Fibonacci nim with a friend: Explain the rules, but do not reveal the secret to winning. Use 20 sticks to start. Play carefully, and beat your friend. Play again with another (non-Fibonacci) number of sticks to start. Record the number of sticks removed at each stage of each game. Finally, reveal the secret strategy and record your friend’s reaction.
