A woman took a certain number of eggs to the market and sold
some of them.
The next day, through the industry of her hens, the number
left over had been doubled, and she sold the same number as
the previous day.
On the third day the new remainder was tripled, and she sold
the same number as before.
On the fourth day the remainder was quadrupled, and her
sales the same as before.
On the fifth day what had been left over were quintupled,
yet she sold exactly the same as on all the previous
occasions and so disposed of her entire stock.
What is the smallest number of eggs she could have taken to
market the first day, and how many did she sell daily? Note
that the answer is not zero.
