q. A total of thirteen pennies is put into three piles so
that each pile has a different number of pennies.
Obviously, this can be done in several ways. Here’s the
challenge – what is the fewest possible number of
pennies in the largest pile of any of the possible
combinations?

Gabbar Singn Bro: 2 round ma game complete hudaina ni ta...
First round: remove all even numbers.
remaining numbers: 1,3,5,7,9,11....999,
secoun round: remove alternate numbers .starting at 1 again.
remaining numbers: 1, 5, 9, 13 , 17....
third round...............

After every round the total number of people is even.
Every round starts from number 1.
From the first round, when the total number of people is even and the starting number is 1, the people on both sides of 1 go out but 1 remain.
Hence, survivor = 1.

Perfect answer by NAS: +2

Here is my version of code:

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;


public class jpt1 {
static int toalPeople=1000;
static int result=0;
static int x;
static int count = 1000;
public static void main(String[] args) {
List result= numberLeft(toalPeople);
System.out.println("last remaining person: "+ result);

}

static public List numberLeft(int x){
ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
for (int i = 1; i <= toalPeople; i++) {
list.add(i);

}
System.out.println("list "+list);
while(count>1){
for (int i = 0; i < list.size()-1; i++) {
list.remove(i+1);
}
System.out.println(" Remaining people : "+list.size());
count = list.size();
}
System.out.println();


return list;
}
}
Output:
Remaining people : 500
Remaining people : 250
Remaining people : 125
Remaining people : 63
Remaining people : 32
Remaining people : 16
Remaining people : 8
Remaining people : 4
Remaining people : 2
Remaining people : 1

last remaining person: [1]

Niral , Obama, Fuckeeto, Gabbar Singh also answered correctly but without solution so (+1) to each.

NAS bro, ur code is awesome as well and complete with user input. Thats the way it should be. I was trying to be fast, still have 2 unnecessary variable to be cleaned up.

Helpjava11, that is wrong, either your programming is wrong (i don't have knowledge about programming) or something else is wrong. If you remove every second person in a circle, it will work until there is even no. like ...1000 to 500 to 250 to 125. If you remove, 2, 4, 6.......... 998, 1000, then no. 1 will be saved. But when you come to round 4th, after you remove 124th, 125th will be saved and no. 1 will be removed. Please write the no. in the circle and do it by yourself, and you will know it :)

La Ram dai - here is the result

RamroNepal bro, there is a good possibility I might be wrong. coz I didnt looked at the answer when I posted the question.
Can you post your resoning with what answer you got.

Couple of observations:

1. RamroNepal, I am afraid you are wrong. Serial has already listed all the numbers that get eliminated and showed that 1 survives. Let's think about it logically. You are suppose to take the second number out that survived. What happens is when you go round, you start eliminating every other numbers and then end at the highest number left. Then you start your count again from 1 and eliminate the second number. You see, 1 always comes as the first number during these iterations and survives every single time until the end.

2. I am very impressed with Helpjava and Nas' programming skills. This is a very simple programming, but I know lots of people working in IT as developer cannot write this simple code. They lie on their resume and force things up. It is not too hard to learn programming. If you are considering a career in IT, specifically as a programmer or developer, please learn the basic programming. I like how both of them have used the correct logic sequence and indented the code to make it easy to read. I am sure if they had more time, they'd have added some comments next to the critical functions. Impressed.

why to write so long?
just use python:
lll = range(1, 1001, 1) # list of 1000 numbers
i= 0
rr = 1 # round
while 1:
if i+1 < len(lll):
del lll[i+1]
elif i+1 > len(lll):
print "round ", rr
print "remaining ", lll
i = len(lll) - i -1
rr = rr+1
elif len(lll) == 1:
break
i = i+1

Sabai programme ma khariyeka boka haru rahechan :), aafulai ta programming ko kehi ni knowledge chaina :( tara sojho tarika le herda ajhai yo program ma kehi galat cha.

Lets go to paradox's program :

In round 3 :

Remaining no. are : .....................945, 953, 961, 969, 977, 985, 993

If it is a circle, it will be

.......945, 953, 961, 969, 977, 985, 993, 1, 9, 17, 25 ......


Now in round 4 you will remove 953, 969, 985, 1, 17 ...... so on. So no. 1 should remove if it is a circle. But your programming always start with no.1 as it is not a circle.

Sabai no. paperma lekher ni dekhaune koshis gardachu time bhayo bhane sanibar samma maa, jamma 2000 jati no. Lekhna parne ta rahecha ni :)
