This is just for craps and giggles...
Tom loads up a bunch of shells to go hunting for the week.
Monday he sees a prarie dog at 400 yards, he takes aim and fires half of his rounds plus one half of a round to get the pd.
Tuesday he calls in a fox and fires half of his remaining rounds plus one half of a round to get the fox.
Wednesday he calls in a coyote and again fires half of his remaining rounds plus one half of a round to get the coyote.
Thursday he again fires half of his remaining rounds plus one half of a round to get a mountain lion.
Friday the same, he fires half of his remaining rounds plus one half of a round to get a bobcat.
He has exactly one round left, how many did he start with?
