OMM 1996 Problem 2

    There are 6464 booths around a circular table and on each one there is a chip. The chips and the corresponding booths are numbered 11 to 6464 in this order. At the center of the table there are 19961996 light bulbs which are all turned off. Every minute the chips move simultaneously in a circular way (following the numbering sense) as follows: chip 11 moves one booth, chip 22 moves two booths, etc., so that more than one chip can be in the same booth. At any minute, for each chip sharing a booth with chip 11 a bulb is lit. Where is chip 11 on the first minute in which all bulbs are lit?
