Save the Prisoner!

    My code passes two testcases and I believe the logic is right.But for other testcases it gives "terminated due to timeout error". Can you tell what's going wrong ?

    import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
import java.math.*;
import java.util.regex.*;

public class Solution {

    static int saveThePrisoner(int n, int m, int s){
        int returner=0;
        for(int x=s;x<=n;x++)
            {
            m--;
            if(m>0 && x==n)
                {
                x=1;
            }
            if(m==0)
                {
                returner=x;
                break;
            }
        }
        return returner;
    }
    

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
        int t = in.nextInt();
        for(int a0 = 0; a0 < t; a0++){
            int n = in.nextInt();
            int m = in.nextInt();
            int s = in.nextInt();
            int result = saveThePrisoner(n, m, s);
            System.out.println(result);
        }
    }
}
