| − | Arjun and Beth play a game in which they take turns removing one brick or two adjacent bricks from one "wall" among a set of several walls of bricks, with gaps possibly creating new walls. The walls are one brick tall. For example, a set of walls of sizes <math>4</math> and <math>2</math> can be changed into any of the following by one move: <math>(3,2),(2, 1, 2),(4),(4, 1),(2, 2),</math> or <math>(1, 1, 2)</math>.
