1995 AHSME Problem 15
Five points on a circle are numbered 1,2,3,4, and 5 in clockwise order. A bug jumps in a clockwise direction from one point to another around the circle; if it is on an odd-numbered point, it moves one point, and if it is on an even-numbered point, it moves two points. If the bug begins on point 5, after 1995 jumps it will be on point ![[asy] size(80); defaultpen(linewidth(0.7)+fontsize(10)); draw(unitcircle); for(int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) { pair P = dir(90-i*72); dot(P); label("$"+string(i+1)+"$",P,1.4*P); } [/asy]](/static/aops/a56ff5a3209bcfc5f62eeca5078621a7cde16e0f.png)
