a version of NIM (Posted on 2016-02-04) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Alice and Bob play a game in which they take turns removing stones from a heap that initially has n stones.
The number of stones removed at each turn must be one less than a prime number. Alice goes first.

The winner is the player who takes the last stone.

Prove that there are infinitely many values of n such that Bob has a winning strategy.
