Problem: Simulation
You are to simulate the execution of a method that
   manipulates an array of integers.  Consider the following method:

        public static void mystery(int[] list) {
            for (int i = 2; i < list.length; i++) {
                list[i] = list[i] + list[i - 1] + list[i - 2];
            }
        }

   In the left-hand column below are specific lists of integers.  You are to
   indicate in the right-hand column what values would be stored in the list
   after method mystery executes if the integer list in the left-hand column
   is passed as a parameter to mystery.

        Original List                   Final List
