Description
Alex and Lee play a game with piles of stones. There are an even number of piles arranged in a row, and each pile has a positive integer number of stones piles[i].

The objective of the game is to end with the most stones. The total number of stones is odd, so there are no ties.

Alex and Lee take turns, with Alex starting first. Each turn, a player takes the entire pile of stones from either the beginning or the end of the row. This continues until there are no more piles left, at which point the person with the most stones wins.

Assuming Alex and Lee play optimally, return True if and only if Alex wins the game.

Example

Input: piles = [5,3,4,5]
Output: true
Explanation: 
Alex starts first, and can only take the first 5 or the last 5.
Say he takes the first 5, so that the row becomes [3, 4, 5].
If Lee takes 3, then the board is [4, 5], and Alex takes 5 to win with 10 points.
If Lee takes the last 5, then the board is [3, 4], and Alex takes 4 to win with 9 points.
This demonstrated that taking the first 5 was a winning move for Alex, so we return true.

Description
你和你的朋友，两个人一起玩 Nim 游戏：


桌子上有一堆石头。
你们轮流进行自己的回合，你作为先手。
每一回合，轮到的人拿掉 1 - 3 块石头。
拿掉最后一块石头的人就是获胜者。


假设你们每一步都是最优解。请编写一个函数，来判断你是否可以在给定石头数量为 n 的情况下赢得游戏。如果可以赢，返回 true；否则，返回 false 。

 

Example

输入：n = 4
输出：false 
解释：如果堆中有 4 块石头，那么你永远不会赢得比赛；
     因为无论你拿走 1 块、2 块 还是 3 块石头，最后一块石头总是会被你的朋友拿走。

Description
我们正在玩一个猜数游戏，游戏规则如下：

我从 1 到 n 之间选择一个数字，你来猜我选了哪个数字。

每次你猜错了，我都会告诉你，我选的数字比你的大了或者小了。

然而，当你猜了数字 x 并且猜错了的时候，你需要支付金额为 x 的现金。直到你猜到我选的数字，你才算赢得了这个游戏。
