all the odd numbers survive...
no 1 kills no 2 and passes the sword to no 3. No 3 kills no 4 and passes the sword to no 5. It continues like that with all the even number dying and leaving only the odd numbers standing..

The 73rd person. It's complex smiley

On the 3rd round of killings when there are odd numbers of people (25), the 97th person killed the first person and assumed that position. The 89th person then killed the 97th in the next round since that round also has odd numbers (7). The 73rd then killed the 89th person.

No 1 is the last person standing, why? he killed 2 and pass the sword to 3, 3 kill 4 and so on. Then it comes back to the beginning and 1 kills 3, till he is the last person standing

No 1.
Well analysed.

Number 1 is the lone survivor.... Cos he killed no. 2 and they continued until the 100th person.
Re: Who Is The Survivor In The Puzzle? by mhuyee(m): 10:31am On Sep 02, 2017
no one seems to be getting dis puzzle. The killing keeps going on even after no 99 kills no 100 and hand over the sword to no 1. no1 would still kill no 3 and then hand over the sword to no 5, and it goes on like dat again, till only one is remaining

1 would be killed by no. 100
Re: Who Is The Survivor In The Puzzle? by NevetsIbot(m): 10:38am On Sep 02, 2017

73 is the answer!

How?

Consider a case when there 2^numbers in circle. Each time the number reduces by half and finally at the last number 1 will remain.
example – 2^2 = 4
round 1 – 2 and 4 will be killed.
round 2 – 3 will be killed. One Remains

So our aim here should be to reach to a figure when 2^n number will come and person who will be holding the sword at that moment will survive.

when there are 100 people – closet 2^number will be 64.
so here our target it to find the person who is holding the sword when 64 people are remaining.

64 people remaining means 36 people killed.
As every alternate person is being killed so double of 36 i.e 72. So 72 person was killed at that moment and the sword was passed to 73 from 71 after killing 72.

so the moment when 64 people were remaining, 73 was holding the sword,
so 73 will survive the killings!!!

OR,

Use the Circular Left Shift method

There are 100 people.
100 in binary is 1100100.
Circular left shift 1100100.
We get 1001001.
Convert it back to base 10.
73rd is the last man standing.


OR,

MATHAMATICAL WAY THAT EVERY NIGERIAN WILL UNDERSTAND

First 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17;19,21,23,25,27,29,31,33,35,37,39,41,43,45,47,49,51,53,55,57,59,61,63,65,67,69,71,73,75,77,79,81,83,85,87,89,91,93,95,97,99(got sword, passed to 1)

Then 1,5,9,13,17,21,25,29,33,37,41,45,49,53,57,61,65,69,73,77,81,85,89,93,97(sword passed to again)

Then 1,9,17,25,33,41,49,57,65,73,81,89,97(sword passed to 9)

Then 9,25,41,57,73,89(sword passed to 9 again)

Then 9,41,73(sword passed to 9 again)

Then 9,73(73 got sword & killed 9)

Thus the answer is “73"


all these mathematics on small riddle??

science students no get joy ahswr.
