Each member picks a number between 1 and 127,033 and sits in the circle in that order. (Member 1 sits between member 127,033 and member 2, of course.) Then going around the circle (in the direction of increasing member number) every 42nd person is banned until there is only one person remaining. For example, #42 is banned first, followed by number #84 and so on. What number do you want to be?
It took Maple almost two minutes on my computer to find the last survining number. I'll post the answer in a couple of minutes.
