Following their latest trip, the 13 pirates of the ship, PINK PEARL, gather at their favorite tavern to discuss how to divvy up their plunder of gold coins. After muchdebate, captain Jill Sparrow says, "Argggg, it must be evenly distributed amongstall of us. Argggg". Hence, the captain begins to pass out the coins one by one aseach pirate anxiously awaits her reward. However, when the captain gets close tothe end of the pile, she realises there are 3 extra coins. After a brief silence, oneof the pirates says, "I deserve an extra coin because I loaded the ship while therest of you slept". Another pirate states, "Well, I should have an extra coinbecause I rationed all the liquor". Eventually, a brawl ensues over who should getthe remaining three coins. The tavern keeper, annoyed by the chaos, kicks out apirate who had broken a table and is also forced to return her coins. Then, thetavern owner yells, "Keep the peace or all of you must go!" The pirates return totheir seats and the captain, left with only 12 total pirates, continues to distributethe coins -"one for you," "one for you.” Now, as the pile is almost depleted, sherealises that there are five extra coins. Immediately, the pirates again argue overthe five extra coins. The captain, fearing that they will be kicked out, grabs theangriest pirate and ushers her out of the tavern with no compensation. With only11 pirates left, she resumes distribution. As the pile nears depletion, she sees thatthere won't be any extra coins. The captain breathes a sigh of relief. Noarguments occur and everyone returns in peace. If there were less than 1,000coins, how many did the pirates have to divvy up?​
