Determine the outcome of a simple two-player plate game from the given starting state and rules.
You are given a simple game involving plates arranged in a line. Two players take turns applying the game rules until no valid move remains or the game reaches its terminal condition.
Your task is to simulate the process and determine the final result according to the rules of the game.
Because the original statement is unavailable here, treat this as a straightforward implementation/simulation problem: read the input state, apply the described plate-game transitions in order, and output the required final answer exactly as specified by the rules.
The input format follows the original problem’s plate-game description. In general, it consists of the initial game state and any parameters needed to simulate the moves.
Print the final result of the plate game after applying the game rules.
Constraints are not available from the source metadata. Solve the problem using a direct simulation approach with attention to edge conditions.

Input
3 1 2 3
Output
3
Explanation
Illustrative example: after applying the game rules, the final required value is 3.
