Josephus problem : Mathematics
There are n people standing in a circle waiting to be executed. After the first man is skipped, k − 2 people are skipped (skipping over k − 1 people set you over the k-th man) and the k-th man is executed. Then again, k − 1 people are skipped and the k-th man is executed. The elimination proceeds around the circle (which is becoming smaller and smaller as the executed people are removed), until only the last man remains, who is given freedom.
The task is to choose the place in the initial circle so that you survive (are the last one remaining), given n and k.

The Turk : Automation Chess PLayer
The Turk or Automaton Chess Player was a chess-playing machine of the late 18th century, exhibited from 1770 for over 84 years, by various owners, as an automaton but later explained in January 1857 as an elaborate hoax. Constructed and unveiled in 1770 by Wolfgang von Kempelen (1734–1804) to impress the Empress Maria Theresa, the mechanism appeared to be able to play a strong game of chess against a human opponent, as well as perform the knight\'s tour, a puzzle that requires the player to move a knight to occupy every square of a chessboard once and only once.
