Don't chat, just observe the pattern and solve the problem. 

You are given a problem which consists of a string of elements from a small vocabulary. You will apply logic to solve for
the answer, as we will demonstrate. At every step, we modify the previous string to a new string by looking at pairs of elements 
(in rare cases, the last element doesn't have a pair and is unchanged).  

For each pair you will apply a rule. A rule can cause the elements to be unchanged, deleted, or replaced. To improve

For each pair you will apply a rule. A rule can cause the elements to be unchanged, deleted, or replaced. To improve 
our answering, we will number the elements of the problem. The numbers will follow elements between steps to make it 
easier to follow our logic. In other words, we do not re-number, and an element will keep its number even if changed by 
the rule. Removed elements will have their numbers removed as well.

After you have applied a rule, you will indicate what will be added to make the string in the next step. Generally, if
