Three friends Ahmed, Bobby and Chandan had a crate full of apples that they originally intended to share equally amongt themselves. During the night, Ahmed woke up and took a third of the apples, then promptly fell asleep again. Bobby woke up shortly after and also decided to take a third of the remaining apples and he also dozed back to sleep. Finally, Chandan woke up and seeing the others were asleep, took a third of what was left.
