Jun 24, 2017 at 3:40 comment added Mark S. @EngineerToast The subtraction game where you can remove 1, 2, or 3 pieces on a turn is/was called Nim in many places, including that "Amazing Dr. Nim". But as Greg Martin points out, Nim more commonly refers to a game with multiple heaps where you can remove as much as you want from a single heap.

Jun 23, 2017 at 18:51 comment added Engineer Toast This is just Nim with 11 pieces. If you prefer video, here's one explaining The Amazing Dr. Nim, a "game" that beats you at Nim.
