Set 2
Answer 7 |
The innkeeper brought 27 sandwiches. The first man awoke, ate 9 sandwiches as his share, and went back to sleep. This left 18 sandwiches on the plate. The second man did likewise, but his share was only 6 sandwiches, and 12 were left on the plate. Similarly, the third man assumed that his share was 4 of the 12 sandwiches. He left 8. (Hint: work backwards from 8.) | |
