He splits the gumballs in half 3 times. He gives 5 gumballs to his sister at the end. He is left with 10 gumballs. I wonder how many gumballs Charlie had to begin with? I wonder if there is a formula to figure this out? I wonder who has the most gumballs? I wonder if the gumballs can be divided equally among everyone?
