Problem: You have been invited to the emperor’s banquet. The emperor is a rather strange host. Instead of sitting with his guests at his large dining table, he walks around the table pouring oats on the head of every other person. He continues this process, pouring oats on the head of everyone who has not had oats until there I sonly one person left. This question is, where should you sit if you do not want outs poured on your head?
I found out some stuff
# of seats
2 seats= you should sit in seat # 2
3 seats= you should sit in seat # 2
4=4
5=2
6=4

8=8
9=2
10=4
11=6
12=8
13=10
14=12
15=14
16=16
