in the question no where mentioned about we need to wait for
one day to double flowers. double of flowers happen
immediately.
so assistant pluck 7 flowers and put it in 1st pond, it will
become 14. Take 6 from the 1st pond(8 will be left in pond)
and put it in 2nd pond. It will become 12. Take 4(8 will be
in 2nd pond) and put it in 3rd and it will become 8.
