The bounded-difference conjecture for Cookie Monster losing positions
The bounded-difference conjecture for Cookie Monster losing positions
Let and enumerate, respectively, all losing positions of the forms and , with each family arranged in increasing order of its first variable, or . Bounded-difference conjecture. There exist constants bounding both
and
This conjecture predicts a uniform correspondence between the two ordered families of losing positions, but the source gives no evidence of a proof or resolution.
