Candy Bogart

After a tough night of trick or treating, Max’s dad tells him to give fifteen of his thirty candy bars to his brother. Jose has 15 Charleston Chews and 15 Gummy Bears. He must set the pieces around a large circle, count them, and give his brother every thirteenth piece until he has 15 pieces. Jose loves Gummy Bears. How can he arrange the candy so that he gets all of them?

  Ok, you said MAX has to give his brother candy bars, but we talk about JOSE’s. However, C, B, C, C, B, C, B, C, B, B, C, B, C, B, C, B, B, C, C, C, C, C, B, B, B, B, B, C, B, if it’s quantitative. I might have gotten the letters mixed up, or added or subtracted one, but that’s about it.
