Happy Thanksgiving!

We are headed to Chicago for Thanksgiving this year.  We will be spending the holiday at Abbey's brother Seth and his fiance Jenney's new house.  Abbey's mom is meeting us in Ames tomorrow and we are off! (Two trips to Chicago in two months for me!  Aren't I special!) We are looking forward to seeing everyone.  We hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and has safe travels to wherever you are headed.  You are all in our thoughts and prayers this holiday!

Something to ponder over the holiday:  If you and I are playing a game with a Hershey bar (it has 12 pieces remember?) that goes like this: Player 1 breaks the bar along one of the lines and sets it down, then Player 2 picks up one of the pieces and does the same.  Play continues until there are no more pieces to break apart.  The player that makes the last break wins.  What is the strategy to win this game?  Is there a strategy? What if the bar had 32 pieces? 9 pieces? email me the solution and I'll send you a prize!
