The deadline implies an even higher probability that this is homework. I
don't know whether you declared this in your earlier post, but it's
always as well to do so. You've made a substantial effort to solve the
problem though, so I don't mind trying to help. I hope you regard the
following as helpful.
You need a program structure that keeps going until the required
termination condition is reached. One such structure would be:
while sticks_remaining > 1:
taketurn(next_player())
So now you only need a next_player() function that returns alternate
values on successive calls and a taketurn() function that reduces the
number of sticks according to the instructions form the given player.
