1. Back in the middle ages there was 3 knights journeying together, they stopped for a night at the inn and ordered a platter of potatoes and a room. They went upstairs and fell asleep before the potato platter arrived. The first knight woke up in the middle of the night, assumed the others had not eaten and ate 1/3 (one-third) of the potatoes. The second knight awakened later, also assumed no one had eaten, so he only ate 1/3 (one-third) of the remaining potatoes. The last knight awoke very early and assumed neither of the other two had eaten, so he too only ate 1/3 (one-third) of the remaining potatoes. When all three awoke the next morning they found that 8 potatoes remained. How many potatoes were on the platter originally?
