# You are playing the following Nim Game with your friend: There is a heap of stones on the table, each | |
# time one of you take turns to remove 1 to 3 stones. The one who removes the last stone will be the winner. | |
# You will take the first turn to remove the stones. | |
# Both of you are very clever and have optimal strategies for the game. Write a function to determine | |
# whether you can win the game given the number of stones in the heap. | |
# For example, if there are 4 stones in the heap, then you will never win the game: no matter 1, 2, or 3 stones | |
# you remove, the last stone will always be removed by your friend. | |
