Question 55
The integers from $1$ to $n$ are written in increasing order from left to right on a blackboard. David and Goliath play the following game: starting with David, the two players alternate erasing any two consecutive numbers and replacing them with their sum or product. Play continues until only one number on the board remains. If it is odd, David wins, but if it is even, Goliath wins. Find the 2011th smallest positive integer greater than $1$ for which David can guarantee victory.
