72 divided by six since you have six locations. 6,12,18,24,30,36,42,48,54,60,66,72

Now you have 12 since we counted by 6 twelve times to get to 72 ... this means you have 12 nuts at each location since a crow stole half the nuts at one location. half of twelve is six.

in all you only have 66 nuts left
