Hello and welcome to the challenge!


Three Shells And A Pea, also known as a The Shell Game is a game where there are three shells on a playing surface and a ball placed is under one of them. The shells are quickly swapped and the goal of the game is to know where the ball is at the end of the game (read more).


In this assignment, you are given the start position of the ball and a list of all swaps and your task is to print the end position of the ball.


Important! In this task there can be 2 or more shells (not always 3).
