%N A035617 Number of winning length n strings with a 3-symbol alphabet in "same game".
%C A035617 Strings that can be reduced to null string by repeatedly removing an entire run of two or more consecutive symbols.
%C A035617 For binary strings, the formula for the number of winning strings of length n has been conjectured by Ralf Stephan and proved by Burns and Purcell (2005, 2007). For b-ary strings with b >= 3, the same problem seems to be unsolved. - _Petros Hadjicostas_, Dec 27 2018
