Question 8

Mary has 200 pieces of candy for 8 students standing in a straight line. Starting with student 1, she moves along the line and gives each student one piece when she stops. At student 8 she turns around and continues giving candy on the way back, repeating until all candy is gone. Which student receives the last piece?

Interpretation: A student at either end receives one piece per visit; turning around does not give that same student a second immediate piece.
  1. 1st student
  2. 3rd student
  3. 4th student
  4. 6th student
  5. None of the above
