Questions
In a game, two players score by claiming nodes in a binary tree. The player who eventually owns more nodes wins.
Player A and B each claim a node at first. After the first round, a player can only claim a node adjacent to any node they already own. A tree node is adjacent to its parent, left child, and right child. A node owned cannot be reclaimed. The game ends when all nodes are owned.
If player A gets the first claim at node N, find whether it is possible for player B to win. If yes, find out which node player B should claim at their first move.

- 1.0An evil organization that runs on liesSoftware Engineer II • Current EmployeeBengaluru, Karnataka, IndiaAugust 28, 2018Pros: Good food, cab facility, work from home, free snacks & fruitsCons: Poor quality technology stack. Slow-moving software & tools, but fast expectations. Poor quality talent within the organization. Medieval methods of retaining employees: too many team outings, too many hours of meetings per week, expectation to work 24/7, plus hostile behavior by managers. They work only on legacy projects, since new projects are difficult to monetize. Projects are poorly implemented by their substandard employees. Even non-.NET technologies (like front-end technologies) they use are at least 5 years behind the times. In other words, a perfect place to spoil one's career.
