calculate it

April 11, 2010 11:33pm CST
Suppose there are several tables? Can you calculate how many people are there? 3 people per table, then 2 persons left; 5 people per table, then 4 persons left; 7 people per table, then 6 persons left; 9 people per table, then 8 persons left; 11 people per table, then no one left? Do you know how many people in the house?

No one left at the last table so the 11 stayed while the first four tables had one person each that remained that's why 15 in all is in the house.
