Sailors, coconuts and a monkey problem
Five sailors are shipwrecked on an island and collect a large pile of coconuts during the day.
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
That night the first sailor wakes up and decides to take his first share early so tries to divide the pile of coconuts equally into five piles but finds that there is one coconut left over, so he tosses it to a monkey and then hides "his" one of the five equally sized piles of coconuts and pushes the other four piles together to form a single visible pile of coconuts again and goes to bed.
To cut a long story short, each of the sailors in turn gets up once during the night and performs the same actions of dividing the coconut pile into five, finding that one coconut is left over and giving that single remainder coconut to the monkey.
In the morning (after the surreptitious and separate action of each of the five sailors during the night), the remaining coconuts are divided into five equal piles for each of the sailors, whereupon it is found that the pile of coconuts divides equally amongst the sailors with no remainder. (Nothing for the monkey in the morning.)
- The task
- Calculate the minimum possible size of the initial pile of coconuts collected during the first day.
- Use a method that assumes an answer is possible, and then applies the constraints of the tale to see if it is correct. (I.e. no applying some formula that generates the correct answer without integer divisions and remainders and tests on remainders; but constraint solvers are allowed.)
- Calculate the size of the initial pile of coconuts if six sailors were marooned and went through a similar process (but split into six piles instead of five of course).
- Show your answers here.
- Extra credit (optional)
- Give some indication of the number of coconuts each sailor hides during the night.
- Note
- Of course the tale is told in a world where the collection of any amount of coconuts in a day and multiple divisions of the pile, etc can occur in time fitting the story line, so as not to affect the mathematics.
- The tale is also told in a version where the monkey also gets a coconut in the morning. This is not that tale!

Bc
This script implements a solution in the coconuts function for a number of sailors > 1 and a number of monkeys between 1 and sailors-1. It also executes the coconuts function for some values of sailors/monkeys.
<lang Bc>define coconuts(sailors, monkeys) { print "coconuts(", sailors, ", ", monkeys, ") = " if (sailors < 2 || monkeys < 1 || sailors <= monkeys) { return 0 } blue_cocos = sailors-1 pow_bc = blue_cocos^sailors x_cocos = pow_bc while ((x_cocos-blue_cocos)%sailors || (x_cocos-blue_cocos)/sailors < 1) { x_cocos += pow_bc } return (x_cocos/pow_bc*(sailors^sailors)-blue_cocos)*monkeys } scale = 0 coconuts(1, 1) coconuts(2, 1) coconuts(3, 1) coconuts(3, 2) coconuts(4, 1) coconuts(5, 1) coconuts(5, 4) coconuts(6, 1) coconuts(101, 1)</lang>

Haskell
This program works by applying a function to increasing multiples of the number of sailors. The function takes a potential final number of coconuts (at the time the sailors awaken) and works backwards to get to the initial number of coconuts. At every step, it will abort the computation if the current number of coconuts can't arise as a result of splitting the previous pile.
<lang haskell>import Control.Monad import Data.Maybe import System.Environment
-- Takes the number of sailors and the final number of coconuts. Returns -- Just the associated initial number of coconuts and Nothing otherwise. tryFor :: Int -> Int -> Maybe Int tryFor s = foldr (>=>) pure $ replicate s step
where step n
| n `mod` (s - 1) == 0 = Just $ n * s `div` (s - 1) + 1
| otherwise = Nothing
-- Gets the number of sailors from the first command-line argument and -- assumes 5 as a default if none is given. Then uses tryFor to find the -- smallest solution. main :: IO () main = do
args <- getArgs
let n = case args of

s:_ -> read s
a = head . mapMaybe (tryFor n) $ [n, 2 * n ..]

Examples:

J
Here, we assume an answer which is less than 10000, and try each possibility, constraining ourselves to the list of answers which are valid. (As it happens, there's only one of those.)
<lang J> I.(=<.)%&5 verb def'4*(y-1)%5'^:5 i.10000 3121</lang>
These sailors must count coconuts extremely quickly.
When we do this with six sailors, it turns out that we have to assume a larger initial value:
<lang J> I.(=<.)%&6 verb def'5*(y-1)%6'^:6 i.1000000 233275 513211 793147</lang>
If it were not obvious which of the answers here was the minimum value we could additionally pick the smallest value from the list. But that would require typing two extra characters (for example, replace I. with i.&1), and most people already have so much trouble reading J that the extra code would surely be too much.

jq
The first solution presented in this section is based on a simulation of the nighttime and daytime activities, and the second (much faster) solution works backwards.
If your jq does not have "until" defined, here is its definition: <lang jq>def until(cond; next): def _until: if cond then . else (next|_until) end; _until;</lang>
Simulation
<lang jq># If n (the input) is an admissible number of coconuts with respect to
- the night-time squirreling away of the coconuts by "sailors" sailors, then give 1 to the
- monkey, let one sailor squirrel away (1/sailors) coconuts, and yield the remaining number;
- otherwise, return false:
def squirrel(sailors):
def admissible: if . then (. % sailors) == 1 else . end;
if admissible then . - ((. - 1) / sailors) - 1 else false end;
def nighttime(sailors):
reduce range(0; sailors) as $i (.; squirrel(sailors));
def morning(sailors):
if . then (. % sailors) == 0 else false end;
- Test whether the input is a valid number of coconuts with respect to the story:
def valid(sailors): nighttime(sailors) | morning(sailors);</lang> Five sailors: Find the minimum number of coconuts if there are 5 sailors -- start at 1 as there must be at least one to give to the monkey during the night: <lang jq>1 | until( valid(5); . + 1)</lang>
- Output:
3121
Six sailors: Find the minimum number of coconuts if there are 6 sailors -- start at 1 as there must be at least one to give to the monkey during the night: <lang jq>1 | until( valid(6); . + 1)</lang>
- Output:
233275
Working backwards
<lang jq># If n (the input) is the number of coconuts remaining after
- the surreptitious squirreling away by one sailor,
- then emit the number of coconuts which that sailor originally
- saw if n is admissible, otherwise emit false:
def unsquirrel(sailors):
if . and (. % (sailors - 1) == 0) then 1 + (sailors * (. / (sailors - 1))) else false end;
- If in the end each sailor received n coconuts (where n is the input), how many coconuts
- were there initially?
def backwards(sailors):
reduce range(0; sailors) as $i (. * sailors; unsquirrel(sailors));
def solve:

Perl 6
There is nowhere in the spec where it explicitly states that the sailors cannot equally share zero coconuts in the morning. Actually, The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences A002021 considers the cases for 1 and 2 sailors equally sharing zero coconuts in the morning to be the correct answer.
This will test combinations of sailors and coconuts to see if they form a valid pairing. The first 6 are done using brute force, testing every combination until a valid one is found. For cases of 7 to 15 sailors, it uses a carefully crafted filter to drastically reduce the number of trials needed to find a valid case (to one, as it happens... :-) )
