p5. Armando and Mauricio play Schwarz. Schwarz is a turn-based game played on one page of paper marked with 202020 points placed arbitrarily such that there are no 3 aligned. On Each turn the player must select two pairs of points that have not been previously joined and join each of them with a line segment, if a triangle is formed, at the end of the turn, they are eliminated the points that make it up and the line segments connected to these points and continue with the other player's turn. If in a turn it is only possible to join a couple of points, they must be joined. The loser is the one who eliminates the last three points. If you start Armando, determine who has the winning strategy.
