Let $n\geq 2$ be an integer. Alice and Bob play a game concerning a country made of $n$ islands. Exactly two of those $n$ islands have a factory. Initially there is no bridge in the country. Alice and Bob take turns in the following way. In each turn, the player must build a bridge between two different islands $I_1$ and $I_2$ such that: $\bullet$ $I_1$ and $I_2$ are not already connected by a bridge. $\bullet$ at least one of the two islands $I_1$ and $I_2$ is connected by a series of bridges to an island with a factory (or has a factory itself). (Indeed, access to a factory is needed for the construction.) As soon as a player builds a bridge that makes it possible to go from one factory to the other, this player loses the game. (Indeed, it triggers an industrial battle between both factories.) If Alice starts, then determine (for each $n\geq 2$) who has a winning strategy. ([i]Note:[/i] It is allowed to construct a bridge passing above another bridge.)

Captain Jack and his pirate men plundered six chests of treasure $(A_1,A_2,A_3,A_4,A_5,A_6)$. Every chest $A_i$ contains $a_i$ coins of gold, and all $a_i$s are pairwise different $(i=1,2,\cdots ,6)$. They place all chests according to a layout (see the attachment) and start to alternately take out one chest a time between the captain and a pirate who serves as the delegate of the captain’s men. A rule must be complied with during the game: only those chests that are not adjacent to other two or more chests are allowed to be taken out. The captain will win the game if the coins of gold he obtains are not less than those of his men in the end. Let the captain be granted to take chest firstly, is there a certain strategy for him to secure his victory?
