We Took the Cookies
There is a cookie jar that contains a certain number of cookies. Three friends
divide the cookies in the following way. First, Harsha takes all of the cookies and
places them into three equal piles with none left over. He then keeps one of the
piles and puts the other two piles back into the jar. Next, Leela takes the
remaining cookies in the jar and places them into three equal piles with none
left over. She then keeps one of the piles and puts the other two piles back into
the jar. Finally, Lava takes the remaining cookies in the jar and places them into
three equal piles, but there is one cookie left over. He then keeps the leftover
cookie and one of the piles and puts the other two piles back into the jar. If
