Applegate–Jacobson–Sleator conjecture for misère Sprouts

From papers

Let SpS_p^- denote the misère version of Sprouts starting with pp spots. Applegate–Jacobson–Sleator conjecture. The first player has a winning strategy in SpS_p^- if and only if pp is equal to 00 or 11 modulo 55. Josh Purinton's computation disproved this claim at p=12p=12, where the first player wins.
