Let’s say we have a group of \(N\) friends represented by a list of dictionaries where each value is a friend name and their location on a three dimensional scale of (\(x, y, z\)). The friends want to host a party but want the friend with the optimal location (least distance to travel as a group) to host it.

Write a function <code>pick_host</code> to return the friend that should host the party.

Example:

Input:

<pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code>friends = [
 {&#39;name&#39;: &#39;Bob&#39;, location: (5,2,10)},
 {&#39;name&#39;: &#39;David&#39;, location: (2,3,5)},
 {&#39;name&#39;: &#39;Mary&#39;, location: (19,3,4)},
 {&#39;name&#39;: &#39;Skyler&#39;, location: (3,5,1)},
]

def optimal_host(friends) -&gt; &#39;David&#39;
</code></pre>

Write a function to return the optimal friend that should host the party.
