In this game, you must guess a number between 1 and n. Each wrong guess costs you the amount of the guessed number. Your goal is to minimize the total cost while guaranteeing a win. If you run out of money, you lose the game.
You are given an integer array nums. Two players, Player 1 and Player 2, take turns to pick numbers from either end of the array. Each player adds the selected number to their score. The goal is to determine if Player 1 can win the game. Player 1 wins if they have a higher score or if the scores are tied.
Alice and Bob are playing a game with an array of piles of stones. Each pile contains a positive number of stones, and the game proceeds as follows: Alice and Bob take turns, with Alice starting first. On each turn, a player can choose the entire pile of stones either from the beginning or the end of the array. The player who ends up with the most stones wins. Given the piles array, return true if Alice wins the game, or false if Bob wins, assuming both players play optimally.
Alice and Bob are playing a game with piles of stones. Each pile contains a positive integer number of stones. On each player’s turn, they can take stones from the first X remaining piles, where 1 <= X <= 2M. The goal is to maximize the number of stones Alice can collect assuming both play optimally.
You and two friends are given 3n piles of coins, and in each step, three piles are chosen. Alice always picks the pile with the most coins, you pick the second largest pile, and your friend Bob picks the remaining pile. Repeat this process until all piles are picked. Your goal is to maximize the total number of coins you can collect.
Alice and Bob take turns playing a game with a pile of n stones, each having a value assigned by both players. They play optimally and aim to maximize their total points by choosing stones with the highest value for each player.
