Question 8
A sorcerer uses three symbols: the lightning bolt (L), the crescent moon (M) and the star (S), each with a fixed magical power. Six saucers form a ring. Top saucer: 1 bolt and 2 moons. Bottom saucer (opposite the top): 3 bolts and 4 stars. Upper right saucer: 2 bolts and 4 stars. Lower left saucer (opposite the upper right): 3 bolts and 1 moon. Lower right saucer: 1 star. The upper left saucer is empty. The three crossing arrows join opposite saucers and point to saucers of equal power. How many stars equal the power of one moon? Answer with a natural number.
