Let dp[i] be the absolute difference between the weights of A and B considering the first i items.
Note that dp[i] can only be 0,1 or 2.
Base Case: dp[1] = v[1]
Transition is simply dp[i] = abs(v[i] — dp[i-1]).
Note that parity is maintained on transition, so seeing a stone of weight 1 always changes parity of dp[i], and 0 and 2 don't change parity.
There is only one trick, suppose we have dp[i-1] = 0, and v[i] = 2. It's possible that we might be able to place 2 on one side, and move two previous 1 weight stones over on the other side. Therefore, just keep count of how many 1s we have seen, and if we've seen more than 2, make sure the transition from 0 -> 2 ends in 0 instead of 2.
Of course, to recover the answer, we simply need to check if dp[n] is 0 or not.
