You are your way to visit your Grandma, who lives at the end of the valley. It's her birthday, and you want to give her the cakes you've made.

Between your house and her house, you have to cross 7 bridges, and there is a troll under every bridge. Each troll requires you to pay a troll toll. You must give them half of the cakes you are carrying, but as they are kind trolls, they each give you back a single cake.

How many cakes do you have to leave home with to make sure you retain the highest % of your cakes?

With the mystical power of universe?

No, but seriously, is it just that it wasn't dark out yet?

[canucks#01fan]

Nope, lets assume its midnight for the sake of the riddle

[ckamo]

...Braille?

And by artificial light, you're saying candles, fireplaces, etc right?
