Howdy All!
Half way through your weekend already?
Hope its been a good one so far!!
Here we have the case of the "SHIPWRECKED BANANAS"
There was a shipwreck at sea and Buck, Lance, and Jack were washed ashore on a small island. Upon reaching shore they promptly fell asleep from exhaustion. A short time later, Buck awoke and saw that a box of bananas had been washed ashore. Buck ate one third of the bananas and went back to sleep. Lance soon awoke and upon seeing the bananas, ate one third of what was left and then fell asleep. Jack woke next and assumed the other two hadn't eaten any bananas, so he ate one third of what remained. When Jack had finished, there were eight bananas left over. How many bananas were in the box originally?

Good morning all, thanks for the good wishes and a good week ahead for all.
