Let $p$ be a monic cubic polynomial such that $p(0)=1$ and such that all the zeroes of $p^\prime (x)$ are also zeroes of $p(x)$. Find $p$. Note: monic means that the leading coefficient is $1$.

Two players play the following game, using a round table $4$ feet in diameter, and a large pile of quarters. Each player can put in his turn one quarter on the table, but the one who cannot put a quarter (because there is no free space on the table) loses the game. Is there a winning strategy for the first or for the second player?
