There are N egg baskets and the number of eggs in each
basket is a known quantity. Two players take turns to remove
these eggs from the baskets. On each turn, a player must
remove at least one egg, and may remove any number of eggs
provided they all belong to the same basket. The player
picking the last egg(s) wins the game. If you are allowed to
decide who is going to start first, what mathematical
function would you use to decide so that you end up on the
winning side?

It is said that there are N egg bags with eggs in it. So
every bag should have eggs..
Now answer depends on Number of Bags containing only one bag
Suppose there is
1. all bag contains more then 1 egg then I will choose first
2. only one bag with one egg then I will choose second
3. Two bags contain one egg I will choose third..
So It depends on how I reach to the last bag in first place
