I should apologize here; when the OP said "queue", I immediately
noticed that I could import that and use it, and mistakenly started my
testing on that, instead of using the deque type. It's deque that
should be used here. Queue is just a wrapper around deque that adds
functionality that has nothing to do with what's needed here.
