The Josephus Problem

The Josephus Problem is a mathematical problem in which a circle is made, its circumference formed of n people.

Starting from the person in the 0th position, each person eliminates the person to their left (the next person in the circle). The next living person then does the same, and the process is repeated until there is only one person left alive..

Find the position (index - starting from 0) of the last man standing for a circle of n people.

Examples

josephus(0) ➞ False

josephus(3) ➞ 2

josephus(6) ➞ 4

josephus(9) ➞ 2

Notes

• An algebraic solution is in the Tests tab. This is not the sort of solution this challenge requires. It is explained much better than my instructions above!
• Do this by simulating the problem. Do not simply use the mathematical formula, ie. create the circle and perform the eliminations turn by turn.
• If the number of people in the circle is less than 1, return False.
