The round table

Once, six children were in a round table. Master Bărwied asked: "How many of you are there?"

While the others were still counting, one child replied: "Sixty-three: 6 individuals, 15 teams of two, 20 teams of 3, ..."

Master Șăfaw then asked: "Well then, how many people will be there if another person enters?"

The child [nonchalantly] responded: "Well, we have all of the old teams, as well as another set of teams with the new person!"
