That's a good question. You can upgrade to how to stand in the right position among m people, so that the last shot is counted.
If this m is always divisible by 2 to 0, then stand at the end.
Otherwise, stand at the position where n is equal to the n power of 2 and is closest to m, for example, there are 10 people standing at the position of 2 3 = 8.
