does it matter who goes first?

easy, after you learn the trick it is impossible to lose.

I love how people all claim they beat "easy" and then offer no proof. I will be the honest one.
This has challenged me a bit, and I haven't quite figured it out yet, but I am having fun
thinking through the puzzle. Aside from the lack of a restart and mute buttons, this is pretty
good. It would be much better without the voice acting, but its still a decent little puzzle game
(that is, for people like me who don't play puzzle games very often, Im sure that for puzzle
people this is pretty common)

Yeah, I haven't quite figured it out but it is certainly entertaining. It would be really nice to
have a restart button though

I beat him. I let him start and he took all but one of the last row. I took all of the first row.
He took one of the second row and then I took three of the third row. He took one off the second
row and I took the last pearl on the last row. He was left with two rows with two pearls each so
no matter what he does you can leave him with one pearl.

stolen from CortexMoteur
Wanna beat 'Pearls Before Swine' 1,2&3 ::: take the Nimm sum
the trick is binary, so translate the numbers of pearls into binary and add'm up: 1=1, 2=10,
3=11, 4=100, 5=101, 6=110, 7=111, 8=1000, etc
so if you get e.g. 7, 9, 13, 22
0 0 1 1 1 (7)
0 1 0 0 1 (9)
0 1 1 0 1 (13)
1 0 1 1 0 (22)
---------
1 2 3 2 3 (this is the Nimm sum)
in order to be in a winning position the sum must consist of even numbers
so in this example the solution would be to take 19 from the lowest row (22) and leave 3
0 0 1 1 1
0 1 0 0 1
0 1 1 0 1
0 0 0 1 1
---------
0 2 2 2 4
and just repeat it, and make sure you stay in a winning position, 'cause if you make one mistake,
he has you.

But the last row has 6 not 22, what the shit are you talking about?

That doesn't work, I did the little square thing and every time after my turn it was in evens, he
also left them in evens and I still lost, that's crap and a worthless solution and you should go
die you cum gargling faggot.

Nimm sum man... That's all it is.

Even easier way to play:
1. Open the file twice
2. Have him play against himself.
3. You win!

Nim sum with misère rules, that is.

Just have another computer AI of the MARIENBAD game play against it. You let this annoying flash
go first and then you input that into the other marienbad game.
The game is fixed because there is a mathematically complete solution, see above.

or vice versa
= 100% win rate, but this flash is so fucking annoying. Beating him should have some pay off,
something violent.
