On each of the 2006 cards a natural number is written. Cards are placed arbitrarily in a row. 2 players take in turns a card from any end of the row until all the cards are taken. After that each player calculates sum of the numbers written of his cards. If the sum of the first player is not less then the sum of the second one then the first player wins. Show that there's a winning strategy for the first player.
