Got this question at work - seems simple enough but I cant work it out. Please help:
It was Easter Sunday and three friends went on an Easter egg hunt. Between them Jo, Harry and Greg collected a pile of Easter Eggs.
After all their hunting they were very tired and went straight to bed.
During the night Jo woke and took one third of the eggs, but she had to eat one before she could take exactly one third. Jo went back to bed.
Later Harry woke and took one third of the eggs that were left but he had to eat one before he could take exactly one third. Harry went back to bed.
Then much later Greg woke and took one third of the eggs that were left but he had to eat one before he could take exactly one third. Greg went back to bed.
For breakfast in the morning, the children were able to equally share all the eggs that were left in the original pile.
How many eggs might they have originally found?
How many eggs did each child get to eat for breakfast?
