+/* Consider the case of 8 elves:
+ *  Start: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
+ *  1 -> 5: 1 2 3 4 6 7 8
+ *  2 -> 6: 1 2 3 4 7 8
+ *  3 -> 8: 1 2 3 4 7
+ *  4 -> 1: 2 3 4 7
+ *  7 -> 3: 2 4 7
+ *  2 -> 4: 2 7
+ *  7 -> 2: 7
+ *
+ *  Looking at this we can see that we start by removing the element half-way round the list.  The
+ *  next element removed is always either the one after the one just removed, or the one just beyond
+ *  that.
+ *
+ *  Which one is removed depends on whether there are an even or odd number of elements left.
+ *
+ *  We make use of this to realize we don't have to track the current elf who is getting parcels
+ *  only the elf that is having parcels stolen from them.
