Smokie...
Smokie can not do without smoking & he has learned to make cigarettes outta butts!!
If 1 cigarette leaves behind 1 butt & 5 butts are used to make 1 new cigarette then whats the MINIMUM number of BUTTS he needs to smoke 30 cigarettes?
Answer is 121 butts & i verified its true & does allow him to smoke 30 cigarettes but how does this number come?
?
Please help...
