+# Survivor
+# There are 50 people standing in a circle in position 1 to 50. The person
+# standing at position 1 has a sword. He kills the next person i.e. standing at
+# position 2 and pass on the sword to the immediate next i.e. person standing at
+# position 3. Now the person at position 3 does the same and it goes on until
+# only one survives.
