Serve some beans on each plate.



Each plate must have the same number of beans
(and there must be more than three beans on each plate).



















Take three beans from each of the end plates and put them on the middle plate.
Count the number of beans on one end plate. Then remove that number of beans from the center plate and place them on one of the end plates.
Finally, take one bean from one end plate and put it on the middle plate.

How many beans are now on the middle plate?
