The robot starts at position zero, then moves to position 1, then position 2 and so on. Dennis wants all of the tiles to the right of 0 to be painted black. (These tiles are represented as bold numbers in the figure above.)
Your task is to help Dennis by telling him which is the nth tile that must be painted black, with the zeroth tile being zero.
