Where Did You Start? (Posted on 2017-11-16) Difficulty: 3 of 5
2015 pieces of stones are placed to form a circle. They are numbered with 1,2,3,4,...,2015 clockwise. Starting from somewhere, you remove a stone. Then going clockwise, you remove every other stone, one at a time. Finally, there is only stone left, and that stone is 2014. What was the first stone you removed?
