document.write( "Michico and Patricia are going to play a spinner game. These are the rules:
\n" );
document.write( "a) When it is a player's turn, she spins both spinners.
\n" );
document.write( "b) Then she adds the two numbers that the arrows point to.
\n" );
document.write( "c) If the sum is odd, Michico wins, even if it was not her turn.
\n" );
document.write( "d) If the sum is even, Patricia wins, even if it was not her turn.\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "Patricia tries a test spin first. Here is what she spins: The sum from the first spin is 3, because 3 + 0=3, Michico wins. Michico says, \"I like this game. I have a better chance to win than you do.\" Patricia says, \"No, I have a better chance to win than you do.\" \r
