The function $f$ is defined on positive integers : if $n$ has prime factorization $p^{k_1}_{1} p^{k_2}_{2} ...p^{k_t}_{t}$ then $f(n) = (p_1-1)^{k_1+1}(p_2-1)^{k_2+1}...(p_t-1)^{k_t+1}$.

What is the smallest integer $n$ for which we need exactly $6$ steps to get to $1$?

The digits of a calculator (with the exception of 0) are shown in the form indicated by the figure below, where there is also a button ``+": [img]6965[/img] Two players $A$ and $B$ play in the following manner: $A$ turns on the calculator and presses a digit, and then presses the button ``+". $A$ passes the calculator to $B$, which presses a digit in the same row or column with the one pressed by $A$ that is not the same as the last one pressed by $A$; and then presses + and returns the calculator to $A$, repeating the operation in this manner successively. The first player that reaches or exceeds the sum of 31 loses the game. Which of the two players have a winning strategy and what is it?
