Joseph's Cousin |
Although many good programmers have been saved since Joseph spread out this information, Joseph’s Cousin introduced a new variant of the malignant game. This insane character is known for its barbarian ideas and wishes to clean up the world from silly programmers. We had to infiltrate some the agents of the ACM in order to know the process in this new mortal game.
In order to save yourself from this evil practice, you must develop a tool capable of predicting which person will be saved.
The Destructive Process
The persons are eliminated in a very peculiar order; m is a dynamical variable, which each time takes a different value corresponding to the prime numbers’ succession (2,3,5,7…). So in order to kill the ith person, Joseph’s cousin counts up to the ith prime.
