A Multiplication Game

Tricks

I solve it by the help of Steven Halim's Website.  In that page I found

            It's quite hard to find this rule... however if Stan and Ollie plays perfect game, then Stan will always try to multiply p with 9 and Ollie will always try to multiply p with 2..., so just simulate the process backwards (i.e. from n, you divide by 9, then divide by 2, by 9... etc until n == 1), then check whose turn can make n becomes 1 and output the winner name.�

But I don�t follow this exactly. I solve this by starting from 1 to n (forwardly) and I do not know , how this does work.
