"I liked that one. I was able to firgure one out!" Sammy chuckled to himself as he put down the second note and picked up the third.

Dear Jester,

Continuing with Apricot's story, imagine this. She is the youngest of 6 daughters. Her father had recently passed and left an inheritance for each girl. The inheritance he left was a big bag of pearls. This is how he distributed the pearls.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

The eldest would get one pearl and a 7th of the remaining...

The second would get two pearls and a 7th of the remaining...

The third would get three pearls and a 7th of the remaining...

So on and so forth untill no pearls remained.

Apricot feared since she was the youngest, she would get no pearls. However, each girl recieved the same amount of pearls. How many pearls were in the bag? How many did Apricot get?
