HackerRank Move the Coins problem solution

In this HackerRank Move the Coins problem solution Bob must determine if the first player has a winning strategy for the new tree or not. It’s possible that after Alice draws the new edge, the graph will no longer be a tree; if that happens, the question is invalid. Each question is independent, so the answer depends on the initial state of the graph (and not on previous questions).

Given the tree and the number of coins in each node, can you help Bob answer all Q questions?
