4、Programming Question 4（60 point）

Programming Implementation
N children stand in a circle (N≤60) and are numbered in order (numbered 1 to N).
Then the child numbered 1 starts to count continuously. When the number
reported contains 3 or is a multiple of 3, the child cannot report the number but
reports "pass" (for example, 3, 6, 13, 31 are all reported "pass").

In a game, the children were having a lot of fun. Suddenly, one child found that
there was an error in the number reported before, and the children behind were
still reporting. Please help the children find out the number of the child who
reported the error for the first time.

For example: There are 3 children, numbered 1, 2, and 3. The child numbered 1
reports 1, the child numbered 2 reports 2, the child numbered 3 reports "pass",
the child numbered 1 reports 4, the child numbered 2 reports 5, the child
numbered 3 reports 6, and the child numbered 1 reports 7; at this time, the child
 RobotChallenge - RC.CODE.PYTHON
who reported the error for the first time is numbered 3. (Because the child number
3 should have reported "passed", but reported "6", and "6" is a multiple of 3)

Input description:
In the first line, enter a positive integer N, which represents the number of
children
In the second line, enter a set of incorrect reporting sequences ("0" represents a
number containing 3 or a multiple of 3), and the sequence elements are separated
by an English comma
Output description:
Output the number of the child who reported the error for the first time

Sample input:
3
1,2,0,4,5,6,7
Sample output:
3

3、Programming Question 3（60 point）

Programming Implementation：
There are N positive integers. Now arrange them in different ways. After each
arrangement, a calculation is performed according to the following rules. For
example, different arrangements will result in different results.
 RobotChallenge - RC.CODE.PYTHON
Calculation rules:
First time: multiply the first number by the second number by the third number,
and record the result as M(1);
Second time: multiply the second number by the third number by the fourth
number, and record the result as M(2);
Third time: multiply the third number by the fourth number by the fifth number,
and record the result as M(3);
N-2nd time: multiply the N-2nd number by the N-1st number by the Nth number,
and record the result as M(N-2).
Finally, calculate the value of M(1)+M(2)+M(3)......M(N-2).
Find an arrangement that maximizes this value.
For example: N=4, 4 positive integers are 1, 2, 3, 4, then there are 24 ways of
arrangement:
When the arrangement is 1, 3, 4, 2, calculate twice according to the rule:
1*3*4=12, 3*4*2=24; product addition: 12+24=36
This sorting method is that the maximum value of all product additions is 36.

Input description:
Input N positive integers (3≤N), separated by a comma
Output description:
Find the arrangement with the largest value of all product additions, and output
the value

Sample input:

5、Programming Question 5（100 point）

Programming Implementation：
There is a sequence a containing n positive integers. We plan to sort the sequence
in ascending order multiple times. Each time we sort in ascending order, we select
an interval [l, r] (l, r) and sort all the numbers in the interval, i.e. al, al+1, …, ar, in
ascending order. Each ascending order is performed on the result of the previous
ascending order. Now please calculate the sequence after multiple ascending
orders.
