The number of rounds that can be played is given by the product of three

and the least number of tokens a player has at the start.

<h3>Response;</h3>
  • <u>45 rounds</u>

<h3>Reasons for arriving at the above value;</h3>

A round is when the player with the most tokens gives one token to each of the other players, and one placed in the discard pile, we have;

<h3>First three round</h3>

17 - 3 = 14

16 + 1 = 17

15 + 1 = 16

17 - 3 = 14

14 + 1 = 15

16 + 1 = 17

17 - 3 = 14

14 + 1 = 15

15 + 1 = 16

The above values follow a number series such that we have;

<h3>Fourteenth three rounds</h3>

4 - 3 = 1

2 + 1 = 3

3 + 1 = 4

4 - 3 = 1

1 + 1 = 2

3 + 1 = 4

4 - 3 = 1

2 + 1 = 3

1 + 1 = 2

<h3>Fifteenth three rounds</h3>

3 - 3 = 0

1 + 1 = 2

2 + 1 = 3

3 - 3 = 0

0 + 1 = 1

2 + 1 = 3

3 - 3 = 0

0 + 1 = 1

1 + 1 = 2

Therefore, after the fifteenth three rounds, which is 15 × 3 = <u>45 rounds</u> Ava runs out of token, ending the game.
