This Challenge is derived from <a href = "http://code.google.com/codejam/contest/8274486/dashboard#s=p1">GJam March 2016 Annual I/O for Women Dance Around the Clock</a>. This is a mix of the small and large data sets.The GJam story goes that D even dancers are arranged clockwise 1:D. Who is adjacent to dancer K after N pair swaps. The odd move swaps positions 1/2,3/4,..D-1/D. The even move swaps positions D/1, 2/3,...D-2/D-1. D=8 [1:8] becomes [2 1 4 3 6 5 8 7] after the first swap.
