Building a Signal Fire


Congratulations, you ate just the right number of leaves to cure your jellyfish stings. When you woke up the next morning, you see a ship anchored a few miles off the shore. You can be rescued if you can build a signal fire!

You need tinder, kindling and green wood to make a nice, smoky signal fire. You know the best amount of kindling is three times more weight than the tinder. The best amount of green wood is two times more weight than the kindling. You need to travel into the interior to find the material and you can only carry 50 pounds back to the beach. How many pounds of tinder, kindling and green wood should you collect?
