Molly’s Problem of the Week
Flowers! Flowers!
There are three rivers and after each river lies a grave. So there are three graves. A man wants to leave the same amount of flowers at each grave, and be left with none at the end. What happens though, is that each time he passes through one of the rivers the number of flowers he has doubles. So he has to start off with what number of flowers, taking into consideration that they double, so that he is left with no flowers whatsoever at the end?
