10 pointer?
Question: Mary has a small pile of 14 cards, which contains 13 black cards and one red card. She deal the cards in the following approach. First, she takes the card lying on the pack and places it on a table. The next card (the one higher than the remaining 13 cards) is then moved to the bottom of the pack. She repeats this process, placing a card on the table and later moving the next card to the bottom of the pack, until adjectives of the 14 cards have be placed on the table. If the 12th card placed on the table is the red card, what was the position of the red card surrounded by the original pack?
