Four
Four students, Ryan, Angel, Evan and Oliver were
shipwrecked on an island. Having no food they went to
work gathering pineapples. After gathering pineapples,
they were tired and all fell asleep. After another while,
Angel woke up and was very hungry and so she ate 1/3
of the pineapples - more than her proper share.
Shewent back to sleep. Evan woke up and, being
hungry, ate 1/3 of the remaining pineapples and went
back to sleep.Oliver did the same. When Ryan woke up,
he only took his rightful share of the remaining
pineapples. Then there were 6 pineapples left. How
many pineapples did they all gather?
