# Problem - http://www.pythonchallenge.com/pc/def/linkedlist.php

# Thought Process - Follow the chain,
# http://www.pythonchallenge.com/pc/def/linkedlist.php?nothing=12345
# and the next nothing is 44827
# pass the number as next argument to ?nothing=44827
# Yes. Divide by two and keep going.
# for this divide the number by 2 i.e. 16044/2 = 8022 and then pass the argument
